Bachelor Tip #3: Doing Laundry... or Not?

So, we're all bachelors here (or bachelor-interested people, at the least), we can be honest and open with each other, eh?

I recently needed to buy a couple pairs of boxers (yes, boxers, the secret's out).  I was getting low and so I went out and got some.  Upon coming home with my new clothing items, I noticed a distinct lack of clean ones available to me in my clean laundry hamper (I have a bad habit of living out my laundry hampers and not actually putting away my clothes, as a sub-tip, don't do what I do).  This was when I thought, "Well, Praise the Lord!  It's a doubly-good thing that I went out and got new ones today!"  Which got me thinking, "I wonder how many bachelors just go out and buy new clothes to prolong doing laundry..."
Now, I'm not saying this is the best tip, it's more of a comical one, really, but I actually think that's a bit of a good idea.  Here's why...

  More selection
  Saving money on laundry because you have to do it less often
  Your clothes will last longer because you will wear the same ones less often
  You keep up with the times
  You can replace old clothing and maintain a good wardrobe
  It's an excuse to put off doing laundry, and come on guys, none of us really like doing laundry, do we?  I didn't think so...

The only drawback to this is the added expenditure of buying new clothes all the time.  If you can afford this kind of a lifestyle, go for it, for those of us not as well-paid bachelors, try to take it slow and buy long-lasting clothing that you really like.  I try not to buy something unless I know that I really like the way I look in it and it provides me with a comfortable clothing experience. This way I don't regret my purchases and end up with clothes that are crap.
After all, as Mark Twain once said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."

Oh, and if you're reading this and thinking, "I should really do my laundry," go do it!
