DH needs suits for business so these are a major expense </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-percentage-income-on-clothesaccessories#post-1000162 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 22:42:03 +0000 Mo 1000162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our income varies so much depending on whether we are in CA or FL I can't give a % figure. &nbsp;I spend around $1500/year on average&nbsp;on my clothing since starting to keep track. &nbsp;BF spends probably the same overall, but in spurts, like buying two $1500 suits in one year and then no suits for another 5 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-percentage-income-on-clothesaccessories#post-1000157 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 22:38:56 +0000 ManidipaM 1000157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think we have as a family been exceeding the 10% budget lately what with my maternity needs and baby stuff (he grows so fast, touchwood). But usually we are around 10-12%. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-percentage-income-on-clothesaccessories#post-1000141 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 22:14:40 +0000 Lyn D. 1000141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Around 5% &nbsp;I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-percentage-income-on-clothesaccessories#post-1000137 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 22:11:39 +0000 Thistle 1000137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spend right around 6-8% after tax. I spend at this level since DD came into our lives as she goes through clothes pretty quickly, and I insist on quality leather shoes for her little feet. Some months I spend less, but then I bank it away for big ticket months like buying winter coats and boots.</p> <p>I don't differentiate as to who the budget is for. It's one pool, and as I am in charge of 95% of all clothing purchases, it is easy to track. (Yeah, I buy DD nd DHs clothes) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-percentage-income-on-clothesaccessories#post-1000107 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 21:07:34 +0000 lyn* 1000107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spend a fair bit. 40% or so. But I have no hobbies. LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-percentage-income-on-clothesaccessories#post-999961 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 18:54:08 +0000 Vildy 999961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not including husband, who buys work clothes and clothes for cycling, or son. I spend about $50 a month. Currently spending nothing since I'm doing shop your closet to ferret out which are my favorites and what overarching style I prefer. But at that low level of expenditure I wouldn't notice any savings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-percentage-income-on-clothesaccessories#post-999955 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 18:41:34 +0000 rute 999955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spend also around 10% </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-percentage-income-on-clothesaccessories#post-999951 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 18:35:24 +0000 Stuti 999951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the topic discussed more than once on YLF.<br /> I got the point that around 10% of average income goes on household clothes/accessories.<br /> Is it the general rule of thumb YLFers follow?<br /> Speaking for myself, it's more than 10% income going to this category.<br /> I understand budget and other things matter too .<br /> So what is YLF followers doing on average?<br /> 200$/month on themselves<br /> 200-400$/month<br /> Or less than 200$/month<br /> More than 400$/month<br /> My vote for 200-400/month on myself. Not family.</p> <p>Byw those r my new cole haan pumps. Ah so comfortable. </p>
