Hey ladies.
So as most of you know, my mom is getting a big inheritance from her family and she gave me the opportunity to pick one of anything that I wanted, and I said a Birkin, and she said okay. I was so happy and excited; you all know this.
Well, the inheritance is still bogged down; no word from the lawyers. I had the Birkin located for a great price and it was all perfect, but I've told the seller to go ahead and release it, sell it to someone else. For a number of reasons.
I don't know when the inheritance will come through and the seller needs the money; it's not fair to her. I am also house shopping and I know that the money could be put toward a down payment or expenses to fix up the property I choose, and it's the responsible thing to let my dream bag go. It's just that this was the one opportunity I had to get one and not sink myself into debt. My SO agrees that I'm doing the smart thing, BUT-- and this is coming from a purse hating SO-- he actually hugged me and said "But you've wanted that bag forever, hun! ....It's your decision. I can't believe you'd give it up."
I don't make enough to have money for that bag, and won't, realistically, for some time. If ever. Especially with price increases. I'm not being dramatic; that's just the truth. I just feel like my dream is gone-- being realistic, I don't think I'll ever be able to get a Birkin. What's pathetic? I'm actually in tears over this, I'm so sad. I know, that's pathetic, and I know I'm doing the right thing. It just... really sucks.
Console me? :cry:
