First, I want to say that not only have I observed the clothes thing, but also other aspects to those who are lower-socioeconomic class – the women spend a LOT of money on getting their nails and hair done, tanning salons, etc. The guys seem to spend their money on trucks, TVs, computers, and guns/sporting equipment. We come from a lower-upper class family, but my sister (with a Master’s Degree) just married into a middle-lower class family, and now she is acting just like them in her spending habits, etc.! She ‘wastes’ what little money they have on a barely-used car, movies, DVDs, eating out, fancy clothes, etc. instead of improving their house (it has windows out and no AC/central heat, etc.). She has become a ‘victim’ of this class of people. I think that these spending habits might be from inferiority – ‘The rich people can spend money any way they want, and debt isn’t a big deal anymore, so I’ll spend for today!’
