You mean, like movies and video games? Or food other than rice and beans?

Most people in first world countries are well above the subsistence level, and much of what they spend their money on isn't useful. It does, however, improve their quality of life. Clothes are no better or worse than my own hobbies, and I suspect, yours.

I meant paying someone else via a subscription service to do it. Clothing is important for signaling, and there is definitely utility there, but I would think there are other ways that are cheaper/easier/more reliable.
