> Why not spend it on a nice suit and accessories

'Cause I'd rather invest it.

I guess for one-off things like weddings, fine, but other than that, not my thing.

Depending on how you think about it, purchasing a suit is an investment.

Yes, you can think about it irrationally if you like to justify your spending.

How so?

Because people dressed in suits get taken more seriously and (usually) get better service.

Try to take out a mortgage dressed in a T-shirt, shorts, and flip flops, and then try to do it dressed in a suit.

It sucks, but it's a real thing.
