As I’ve been thinking and writing about clothing spending over the last couple of months, I knew I wanted to get takes from people who spend most of their work life thinking about money. I interviewed five amazing personal finance Substackers about clothing spending, so for the next few weeks, enjoy another perspective on clothing spending each Thursday. We’ve heard from from Healthy Rich and from The Purse, and today, I’m so excited to have from Money Feelings.

As I’ve been thinking and writing about clothing spending over the last couple of months, I knew I wanted to get takes from people who spend most of their work life thinking about money. I interviewed five amazing personal finance Substackers and told each of them that I only needed a paragraph or so.

First: I’m so thrilled that we’ve raised a stunning $22,345 (!!!) for the Federal Unionist Network (FUN) to fight back against the latest layoffs. That’s $18,902 from Venmo, $2943 from Paypal, plus my $500 match.

I feel really lucky to be a part of this community.

Late in 2019, I was laid off from a full-time job I’d started just 10 weeks earlier. Even with a few weeks’ severance to get into the new year, the layoff was psychologically devastating. I’d been recruited into the position after successfully moving my way up at my first professional job for four years, and I was excited by the opportunities my experience seemed to unlock. The layoff was a blow to my confidence and a reminder of how fickle employers can be.
