I grew up without a lot of money, and now I’m getting a welfare grant while I finish school. Personally, clothing is one of the last things that I buy, but it’s a really big issue for me. I’ve never been too poor to buy food or necessities, but I’m always stuck wearing second-hand clothing or clothes that don’t fit right on me. I’m not trying to whine here, I’m trying to make a point — Having a certain standard of clothing may seem trivial, but it makes a big difference in how people perceive you. Having very little money, little education and so on already causes many people to look down on you. Wearing nice clothes can be a way to counter that. I know that when I do go out of my way and save up to buy a decent looking outfit, I feel much different out in public. I walk with my head higher and I feel more pride, causing me to expect more respect from people than when I’m dressed in ripped or too small clothes.
