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?
as i was reading this forum i told my bf "there are people on this forum whose bfs get into fights with them over how much they spend on bags, i'm glad you're not like that." and he goes "if you want to light your money on fire, you are free to do that." haha.
i freaked out when i thought i lost my mj scarf that cost a few hundred and my parents thought i was crazy and should have me committed.
Speaking of good friends, ANSWER your phone chicky! Yes I get the same from my husband, he doesnt understand. If it were up to him I would have 1 bag and 1 pair of shoes.![]()
