I'll bet you still even wear some clothes your mom bought you.  

They go to Miami to shop for cheap clothes and buy a few iPhones for cheaper then they can in their home country, maybe buy a condo in Brickell to stash their money because they don't trust banks in their home country, and then fly home, never seeing any part of the U.S. outside of Dade County. 

Even clothing, if it's for the business.

And as far as deflation, the federal government can't let that happen very much for the simple fact that they have put us in a bond liquidity trap and they would default on the dollar.When I see low skill jobs like fast food have doubled in wage over the last 8 or so years and are now paying $15/hour, then it seems completely normal to me that food should be double, cars should be double, clothing should be double, rent should be double, and home prices should be double.

Drive a cheap used car, don't eat at restaurants, never get Starbucks, don't go to the bar, buy inexpensive clothing and only buy things you absolutely need.

It's nuts that jobless (or low-earning) college kids are buying iPhones/iPads/gadgets, summer vacations to Brazil, designer clothes, high-end makeup/crap/haircuts, going out partying and to pricey clubs, etc. all they while they have low-income (or no income) and are living off student loans delaying their debt to future years.

You can remove small dents with an iron and a piece of wet cloth.

Should I wear "church clothes" or jeans?

I only have two people living here and my neighbor has 3 people and washes clothes every day.  

Meals at nice restaurants, some of my clothes, etc.
