How often do you replace things that usually aren't replaced rapidly? I used to run through at least 4 pairs of dress shoes a year. What would usually happen is that I would break the shoes within 2-3 months and then have to buy a new pair. This was long before I decided I wanted to buy a house and retire in 17-20 years.
I also used to have a bad habit of shopping for clothes. Oh man I love shopping for clothes. Any of you (stereotypically I'm thinking females) enjoy clothes shopping? Take me along. My pants are getting dirty and I need new ones.
