Expensive clothing has probably always been a thing, but paying a premium for basic items is a relatively new level of stupid.
A new poll asked people what’s the MOST they’d pay for a t-shirt, and 37% of people said $20. That was the most popular answer.
20% of people said $10 or less, which is probably difficult to do these days…while another 20% said they’d pay up to $40 for a t-shirt they loved.
7% of people said they would pay $60…but young adults are skewing the numbers. About 12% of those 44 and under would pay $60.
Among people 44 and younger, 6% would pay $80…another 3% would pay $100…and 4% would pay “more than $100.”
Older folks want absolutely nothing to do with that…in the poll, 0% of Boomers said they’d fork over $80 or more for a t-shirt. I don’t blame them.
