Yeah, in the movies and comics both he didn't get the job as a photographer until after he'd been fighting crime for a while, after he'd already been using his red/blue costume.
The point is, Peter is resourceful and could come up with some money over a period of time.
True enough. He clearly has to spend plenty to make and maintain the costume.
Heh. Its funny, I recall a couple occasions in the comics where Peter went and bought a costume from various stores. In one case , he was really happy to not have to sew a new suit, but it didn't work out for him since the cheap-ass store-bought suit started shrinking on him once he got bit wet. He had to keep webbing it together. See, this is the relatable part of Spider-Man. Who hasn't had a new article of clothing not fit right when you're out and about? Picture that shit happening to Batman.
The other occasion was even funnier, since he'd lost his suit in Germany, and the replacement had a big green spider on the back with "Die Spiede" or whatever "The Spider" is in German. Is want quite as bad as if he'd had to make do with one of those 80s Halloween suits that had a mask and then a weird vinyl suit, bit it was close. And again, picture Batman having to do that shit.
Its also never going to not be funny to me that Peter hates sewing, bit was able to make a suit that ornate. My fiancee loves sewing, and I doubt she could make that suit.
