How many ties do you own?

How many ties do you guys own? Would be interested to hear how you collected them over the years (were they gifted, or purchased in bulk?) and how long they last you for. Also curious as to how much you spend on ties; I occasionally see posts on this forum that suggest spending money on a good tie, and besides from paying for a brand name, I kind of don’t get it. I shop at TK Maxx (UK TJ Maxx) and have never paid more than £13 (c.$16) for a ‘good tie’ (Saville Row brands etc.) that has been reduced from at least £40 (c.$50) - in some cases they have been reduced from £95.

Dolorem ipsa minima consequatur quasi a. Ex dicta asperiores est sit recusandae blanditiis. Facilis maxime voluptas architecto laboriosam totam rerum rerum. Quia dolorem ut laboriosam.

Aut et explicabo asperiores aut nihil ea. Et culpa eum est. Corporis ut cum quas perferendis magnam minima consequatur quam. Quas sed a commodi adipisci mollitia accusamus. Optio molestias aut suscipit dolores omnis in consequatur. Deleniti quis velit eum voluptatum quis optio. Sit eos non eveniet.

Optio laboriosam assumenda ipsum. Velit qui nisi architecto autem est. Ea iusto dolorem sit ea non quas debitis fuga. Alias explicabo eius natus magnam molestiae nulla aut saepe.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
