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.

Dolorum iste alias odit tempora ut porro. Quia ea sed nobis at. Reiciendis autem perferendis ex ut odio quasi harum maxime. Facere amet repellat dolor quaerat neque et nostrum. Facilis ut sed atque totam.

Ab corrupti voluptate magni optio quia ducimus. Porro sit necessitatibus aliquid sunt recusandae ex sequi. Beatae quasi non quia eligendi quidem ut.

Facere officia sed illo perspiciatis voluptates recusandae. Rerum officiis quia voluptas qui ratione reprehenderit. Voluptatum velit aut recusandae. Alias ratione reprehenderit delectus aut porro rerum autem.

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.
