<prompt> Human: I have recently gotten a new job that requires a business casual dress code. I havent ever worked in that kind of environment, and lack the clothes. My previous job I could wear jeans or sweats, as it was more production based.Anyway, Im really tight on money for the time being. I have around 1000 in savings, but I would rather not touch it as Ive worked really hard to save it I have struggled with saving in the past. The money in my checking is budgeted tightly for bills because I wont be getting a paycheck for a couple weeks. I have a credit card, thats paid off completely. Do I use that, and just pay it off when I start getting my paychecks again? I have a slightly below average credit score, so would that also help rebuild that a little bit? Basically, Ive been working really hard to get out of debt, and become independent after my divorce. I want to continue this trend of building, but I also want to look appropriate for work. TLDR: Do I use my savings to buy new clothes for new job, or do I use a credit card and pay it off as soon as I start getting paid again?  <response>: Yes, absolutely invest in your clothes and appearance. It is very important in the workplace.
