How many years would you have to work to earn what Palin spent on clothes

[Morning Dew]

Give or take a month or two, I'd have to work 5 years to gross what Caribou Barbie spent.

How about you?

1. About 5 years for me too. nt

2. 4-5 years (and not paying taxes or spending anything along the way!)

[Morning Dew]

3. Oh, yeah . That would be gross income for me

If it was take home pay, much much longer.

4. I could do it in 4...

but I would have to stop buying gas, food, stop paying my bills, etc...

5. about 3 months for a panty & bra set.

did they by Todd that goat-tee also?

6. Well gross about a year but

a) gross is a fiction. We work for the spending power we receive. I net just over half that what with taxes, 401K, ESPP etc.

b) Even the most ardent fashionista has to spend something on non-clothing (although for the anorexic model types, perhaps very little on food).

Of MY clothing spending? That's about 300 years ;)

8. I probably spend less than $300 a year on clothes

so that works out to about 500 years or so.

7. Same with me.

Before taxes! :-)

9. Three solid years of net pay.

But I won't spend that much on clothes in ten lifetimes.

10. Realistically, most people would need a 30 year mortgage.

We're talking about the price of a house here.
