How do you afford your bags and how many per year? Credit debt or millionare lover?

[angelica]

I work full time as a registered nurse. No kids. My current job pays pretty good too. I have 4 days off a week for shopping and fun and if I work an extra day that will pay for a nice bag! I love it!

[Chickee]

I have a very well paying job. That being said, my collection is not as varied as some folks on this board. But don't worry... I'm getting there!

[pursegalsf]

I sell bags that I no longer use and buy new ones that I like at the moment

I work and use is leftover every month to buy bags.

My parents usually just buy me whatever I want (my mom is a handbag addict as well & my dad can't say no to either of us). But I hate letting them keep getting me stuff bc they're already paying for everything including college & sorority dues. So I fought my parents to actually let me get a job my sophomore year of college. I worked part time at a retail store and then this year I have a tutoring job so I can save up and personally fund my purse addiction :o)

[Eskimo]

my parents support my handbag addiction. they don't want us working until we are out of grad school (i'm a high school junior now), so in return they have to pay for pretty much everything.

i dont eat (with my allowance).

the satisfaction that food gives doesnt come a wee bit close to the satisfaction of purchasing a new purse or shoes! haha

It really is quite fabulous - all three career choices. and the funny thing is that I graduated with my MPA in public admin and a couple of BS' in psych and crim. so I do say I put my education to good use on a daily basis LOL

I will take that form of "punishment" anyday!!!!!!

I work full-time for my DH, and don't get paid, so I take my payment in the form of handbags, shoes, etc.....

[Roomyisbest]

I work and save save save.

[BTBF]

I work.

[crochetbella]

I work part time and try to save. Mostly dh buys bags for me as presents for B-day, Christmas etc.

[Kiari]

I work and save whatever I can after the bills are paid each month. After a few months I can afford a new bag.

I used to work three jobs (on top of going to school) but recently quit the retail job in order to concentrate on studying (graduating this May!...yay!). So, I'm left with my internship and babysitting to pay for my addiction and other stuff. I live with my parents but they don't buy me ANYTHING (well, except food, of course).

[Twinklette]

Sell then buy, sell then buy. As soon as I get tired of it, it goes!
