<prompt> Human: Hello, Im going to start of by saying this is a through away account because Im fairly embarrassed of the position Im in. My name is Alex and I recently graduated highschool in june. And when it was time to apply to colleges, I didnt, mainly because my older brother is in debt and I thought i would be earning more than what I am. I work at a sneaker store thats pretty well known in NYC. Growing up I never really had anything expensive. I couldnt afford it and didnt ask my mom for it because she a single mom who works very hard to earn the money she does. At the moment shes 60. I remember being In middle school wearing the same pants all year around and getting called out for it at the end of the year. That day I cried when I got home. I always wanted all the things other kids around me were able to afford but never could have them. In high school I signed up for a program that allows you to get a paid internship. So i could start saving my money in hopes of being able to achieve my dreams. So when i started working I was only working for 10 hours a week and getting paid about 175-ish every two weeks. When I graduated I eventually ended up getting a real job at the place. Now I work about 16-20 hours a week and earn from 120-40. I still cant afford clothing because Im saving every bit of money I earn. At the moment Im upto 2650. Ive been looking for a new job but just cant find it in myself to spend money on clothes considering I earn so little. Im really insecure about the way I dress but another problem is when i do wear anything new. People notice and it makes me even more insecure. Should i buy new clothes ? should i continue saving? Any tips on finding a new job? Most application I fill out online never respond and the only time i got a response the guy told me to come in 2 days later but called me the next day letting me know they hired someone... pretty fucked up but I laugh at it now.  <response>: What size pants and shirts are you? I have 2 brothers, we grew up near NYC, and between the 3 of us, we have tons of clothing at our parents house that we no longer wear. Solid clothing too - not junk. If youre the same size, Im sure we have some stuff that we can pass on to you. Both my brothers work in NYC. I live in CO, but come to the city every 4-6 weeks for work.
