3. Overalls never really go out of style (maybe out of fashion but not out of style) and, even if they do, you can use them for garden wear
4. They look like they're made of good material and will therefore last a while. If you think about how long you will wear them for compared to your initial investment, this might make the money-goblins-fiends in your head calm down a bit.
5. They have pockets.
It was comforting to read an article they accurately reflects the shame/awkwardness I feel when it comes to money. My mum raised us by ourselves. Money was always A THING. Always.
Now I earn enough to be 'comfortable' - or at least only sit on pins and needles some of the time, but even so, I hate spending money on myself. It is a battle between how much I want it and how much it will cost me (and not just in terms of money). This is baffling behaviour from my partner's point of view but...just in case? You know, just in case something happens, a trip to the vet, a sudden emergency taxi ride, the aliens invade and I need tickets on the evacuation ship for my cats, my wife and I. What then? Do I leave one of my cats behind simply because I just had to have that new dress/book/drink?
It's a crazy relationship to have and, if you ever manage to have a better one, please can you let me know how you did it?

Do not buy the overalls.

I have enough money that I can afford not to care about it until I really have to, though I can't be too careless or I'll have enough money that I can't afford not to care about it. That is my peace and I hope to keep it so.
I think you should get the overalls because:
1. They are cute
2. They will make you happy
