What do you do when you can't afford a bag?

I personally would not charge a bag onto my card that I couldn't pay off at the end of the month. I've come close, though!

If I really can't afford a bag, I just shrug it off... there'll always be another bag out there that you'll find you love just as much or even more... and at that time, hopefully you'll have the money! After all, look how many bags we all have! There's no end to finding the holy grail of all purses.
 
I basically budget it in now. I used to do the whole "eat ramen and bananas" thing when I was in college, but now, I'm too OLD for that now, not to mention how bad the ramen is for you.

Now, I just squirrel my "allowance" until I have enough for it. For the most part, I would agree with people who say that if you don't have it, move on... but I have also seen seasons with absolutely nothing worth getting too (atleast for my personal tastes). So now, if I see a bag that I love, I'll get it!
