Personally, I just cut my nails frequently because I can't stand to have any nails at all. It drives me up the wall at work or just generally going about my day. Never filed or done anything particularly special and never run into any issue because of it. I think people exaggerate a little at times when it comes to this stuff.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one...
I know/have known more than a handful of people who can't afford cars/computers/daily starbucks/eatting out, ect...
BUT they get their hair and nails done like clock work every two weeks..
I don't think it's a matter of class, but a matter of what is important to someone...
I love thrifting/resale stores/ junk stores....
They are my reward for getting up and going to work...
Back when my kid was in HS (Private) I was poorer than hell.. (you support three people, plus tuition and all the stuff that goes along with having a teenager and a partner in college full time on 11 bucks a hour... you learn now to be functual poor) I would walk to work vs taking the bus to save my bus fare so I could go thrifting once a month...
If something is not important to you, then you might think that it's a unness luxury that only people of a certain class can afford... But if it's important to you, you find a way to make it happen...
