But you might end up with more money in the bank. That you’re not allowed to spend. When you use business techniques like setting goals, making plans, and monitoring progress, you can focus on what’s important to you. You decide your spending priorities and what you are willing to sacrifice to pay for the life you want.

It describes how to develop a signature look, choose good quality clothes that fit properly and take care of them so they last.
