more mom
Tonight my mom and I were talking about jewelry and clothes. She said she didnt care if I buy the jewelry, that it is my money and I should spend it the way I like.. Then we started to talk about clothes. And I told her that I want to go clothes shopping and buy some tee-shirts. She said with all the summer and winter clothes you have you dont need any
more clothes. You need an apartment. I told her that the best times to buy clothes is at the end of the season for two reasons one everyone knows (cheaper) and for another no one knows (they keep some clothes to release at the end of the season). I said to her are you saying you dont think I should ever buy clothes and she said when did I ever say that. She then said to me; that I should wait a couple of months to buy clothes after I pay off my charge card. BUT I FEEL AS IF SHE SAYING SHE DOESNT THINK I SHOULD BUY CLOTHES. YOU SEE SOMETIMES WHEN WE GO TO STORES SHE WILL TRY TO TALK ME OUT OF BUYING. MY QUESTION: AM I OVERREACTING AND IF I AM WHY AND IF I AM NOT WHY NOT?

I think your mother is right, you need to buy important things like an apartment first, and then if you have extra money, buy clothes. Your mom did not say you shouldn't ever buy clothes, she said you have enough clothes right now. Paying off your charge card is important. Honestly it sounds to me like you have a spending problem first. She knows you have a problem and you need to stop. Just from your previous questions I know that you tend to buy way too much- 7 of each color of a purse is beyond ridiculous.
You are overreacting. Pay off your charge card (very, very important), start saving for an apartment. Only buy clothes if it is neccessary, not because you want to.

Sorry to say this, but in a way, your mother is right. You should first look at things that need to be done, before looking at things you want. I think you should pay that charge card off first before you even think about buying some new clothes.

I see your mother's point, but also your point with the clothes being cheap and such. You might be overreacting a little bit, because it would be a good idea to save your money and pay off your charge card, so you don't rack up a lot of debt. Maybe go out and buy a few shirts, but don't spend too much. Then you'll be happy you bought some new clothes and you won't have spent a huge amount of money.
