My grandmother Florence Swope frequently quoted some rich guy - Andrew Carnegie or Rockefeller but I don't recall - as saying "If you're down to your last hundred dollars, use it to buy a suit."
That struck me as good advice so I actually did just that one time, however it set me back $450.00 at Nordstrom Rack. Real nice suit, I really enjoyed it.
Eventually I donated it to a thrift store in hopes that it might help someone else get a job. This because I wore it to a bunch of interviews for coding jobs. My experiences led me to conclude that no one believed that I was really a coder, see because computer programmers never wear suits.
Carnegie or Rockefeller? I couldn't remember so I tried to find a citation, and was unable to. I'm convinced now that grandma was just making that up.
