I so agree with this. I certainly buy my share of bags. But I also enjoy walking into a store and just looking and even speaking with sales reps. Of course I also enjoy this forum which is filled with great knowledge. Just talking about bags makes me happy. Weird for most but not for us forum peeps I suppose. I do not create debt to make my purchases. No guilt.
Do you ever feel guilty about your handbag/shopping habit?

I don't feel guilty but often just kind of embarrassed! Why on earth did I need another bag? It is an innocent hobby but rather hard to explain to others ( except here of course)...
I felt a little guilty about buying a bag that I wanted. It took me three years but I bought the bag for my 40th birthday. It was by far the most expensive handbag I had ever purchased.
I don't feel too bad because I have a good job and I'm saving about 50% of my paycheck. I'm also 26 and have only (?) 5 designer bags so it's not excessive. However, I do think I could spend less.
no, i don't, with a small exception of those moments when i see terrible fires, floods, and other natural 'funny' things going on in the world. Then i think - if anything like this is gonna happen nearby, how on earth i will rescue all my bags??...
i am paying for most of my stuff all by myself, unless my DH wants to get away easily for a special occasion, then he just pays for something that i like/want.
i made my bank to drastically reduce my credit limit, it did cost me some nerves, as they wanted to keep it high and increase annually, but i don't need it, and i don't want this temptation. I spend as much as i have in hands.
i make sure i am getting what i want at the lowest possible price, and hunting on a good deal, promo, or offer has become a new sort of hobby for me.
i never pay full price from the beginning, even if there's no "Best offer" option, i still pm the Seller and ask for a discount. it works in 95% cases.
i don't share my love for the bags with those who will not understand, but will be pointing fingers, judging and throwing looks counting MY money in their minds.
When you have no those silly conversations and questions, and you know you manage your purchases and budget, you will not feel guilty.
