Clothing Budget Tips
- 💡 Over budget by $${Math.abs(budgetVariance).toFixed(0)} - review purchase patterns
Note: Clothing should be 2-4% of income. Capsule wardrobes (30-40 versatile items) reduce waste. Shop end-of-season sales for best prices. Quality basics last longer than trendy fast fashion. Children need 50-100% more due to growth. Work attire needs separate budgeting. Thrift/resale offers 50-70% savings.
