Just curios if others hear the same lectures I do.
I constantly get so much grief from family and some friends about my handbag addiction. People cant understand it and think it's nuts to hear somebody spent $500+ on a bag. I would say in an average month I go through at least 3 new bags. Now I also will turn right around and sell them in order to fund the next purchase. But I cant help it, I just love bags. I could no joke browse bags online all day. I have a few friends that are into designer bags but none that are really the same way I am. I find myself even hiding purchases. It's not about the money as I would never fund a handbag purchase before paying bills. I also have never paid for a bag with a CC, always cash. I'm at a point now where I have enough money from selling bags to always cover the next bag. But I just find myself not wanting to hear "you dont need that, not another one, looks just like the last one, how much this time....". I guess what I'm getting at is if it's not causing financial stress, I'm not hurting anyone else, why does everyone care so much what you spend on a bag? Why do they care so much if you get several bags at a time?
Anyone else in my shoes?
