I stopped wearing (sexy) thongs, because they are painful as hell, always caused chafing & injury, and uncomfortable too. Men walk around in full shorts underneath their pants, and convince us that regular comfortable underwear are "granny panties". Emancipate!

Well, selling products (e.g. books) yet not spending your profit on clothes is one way to build wealth, assuming he is frugal in other aspects of his personal life.
