Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for April 17, 2022

Train wreck

Where does Cathy shop at? I have never in my life spent over $100 on a piece of clothing. That is nuts!

I suspect Goodwill is full of impulse buys. Oddly enough, it’s hard to buy Good Will.

She knows taxes come at the same time every year. If she was only smart enough to plan for them, she would not go through this every year. Ask that account she pays for how to do it, and next year’s tax rant will be different. I wouldn’t mind a different outcome.

Wow! Good thing Cathy doesn’t have a drinking problem. :)

Cathy and JLChi are not the only people who caved to peer pressure to wear designer labels. I recall my daughter when she was in high school (decades agao) being outcast from the ‘in’ crowd because we could not afford to buy her one of the two brands of running shoes that were acceptable. Fortunately for all she found a crowd that boasted of their shoe brand – purchased from the ‘GT Boutique’ (Giant Tiger – a discount chain for everything – still popular now). I shudder to think of the amount of money spent due to peer pressure.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it – Happy Sunday to those who don’t.

So if my (really rough) calculations are correct, that’s somewhere around $1,500 worth of stuff she bought—all in 1999. Pretty extreme prices, too, as others have mentioned. Am I gonna have to cut her off??

HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.
