Here's how:
1) I don't pay rent, buy my own food or pay bills.

2) I tried, I really did try to spend my money. I simply cannot justify spending 90 odd dollars on one garment, when I can buy 3 or more for the same price. It just seems too much like capitalism to me.

3) Wait until the things you want go down in price, and by the time they have they won't be available anywhere except for the places that still charge full price.

4) Have a jewish background and parents on low-to-middle income. Nothing you want will ever fit into the budget. Even if it does, they'll say "do you really NEED it?" until you admit that you don't. Second guessing yourself becomes second nature eventually.

5) Put on enough extra weight and you'll never find anything to buy, as nothing you want will fit anyway!!
