I don't know, Madea, but I think it's way more than what I have. I once read a statistic about how much the average person spends on clothing in a year, and I was like, "Whoa! I don't spend that much in ten years!" 
I'm not sure there is a normal; some people take what they wear seriously and some don't give a crap.
I probably have an insane amount of clothes to be a man. Partly because I keep going down sizes and wifey makes me buy smaller stuff that fits every time I drop a few pounds or shift lbs around.
Wifey is worse than me. That woman has a mall in her closet.

There's your answer right there Madea. Are the members of your family wearing everything in their closet? If not, donate or sell it. Of course you need dress clothes that perhaps aren't worn on a weekly basis.
If you haven't worn it in a year, you either don't like it or it doesn't fit so it needs to go. There is another way to look at it, everytime something new comes in, something needs to go out. :Ninja

:faint Back away from the closets!!! Unless it does not fit and I mean by many sizes, not the 5lb up and down, a little tight this week, or it is from the 70's (the 80's are back!) leave it. You will just go get more.
Make a new rule that if you buy yourself something, something must leave. (I personally would not do something like that, I like my stuff. Your stuff is cute too, yeah, just leave it)

My kids have a ton of clothes. I typically don't get rid of their things until they are too small or tore up. I have a closet full of clothes, but only wear about a quarter of them. I have a hard time getting rid of my clothes for one reason or another. As for shoes, I used to have about 2 pairs, but then BBG kept telling me to get more and so I did....now I'm addicted!
This is all I need:
2 pair of tennis shoes (One pair for yard work and a clean pair to wear to work out and buy peanuts)
5 Cool T-Shirts (One for each day of the week for the evenings when I'm home.....which is more often now)
2 pair of blue jeans (It would be one, but I need a spare for when one is dirty. I don't like to wear jeans, but the lovely and gracious Mrs. Reacher likes me to)
7 pair of white socks (They are rotated for work outs....and buying peanuts)
7 pair of black socks (for work)
7 pair of underwear shirts and....well....you know (for work)
2 pair of dress pants, dress shirts and suit jackets (for church when I find another one....I've given up singing on the road...unless I'm singing for free peanuts)
5 full uniforms and 2 par of Hi-Tech combat boots (supplied by the begrudged citizens of Cobb County)

You haven't been paying attention, grasshopper. I just unloaded a truckload. Take everything out of the closet and if you haven't worn it in a year, it goes away. I cleared 90 hangers, it was awesome. I can inventory my entire closet in seconds. Of course, when you have kids at home, the job doubles, at least. You'll be surprised at what you actually have.Madea said:
