      You said spending at e-commerce sites and malls. One of the reasons people spend money at malls is to get clothes for work.

      As for e-commerce sites, I’m not sure why you think people go to Amazon just for luxuries.

      I started working with welding presses this past year and needed to buy a week’s worth of jeans to meet safety requirements (I didn’t really own jeans before lol)

      Fortunately I had some savings, otherwise I’d have been forced to use credit to buy them before I got my first paycheck
