How do you afford your bags and how many per year? Credit debt or millionare lover?

[changeling]

well... my addiction,vintage (like myself) COACH are relatively inexpensive on E-Bay, even in pristine condition. Should I covet a BIRKIN I'd have to take out a second mortgage!

Save up big time!

 

[aussiechic]

I am yet to begin my collection, but first purchase will be a hard earned LV mono speedy 35 from my first years teachers salary...eventually I want to write novels and make it big...for the bags of course

I work and save. I don't really spend my money since I'm living rent-free with parents and get all the bills paid for.

I know a question similar to this must of been posted before, but i'm really curious how you ladies afford your purses? good jobs, monthly payments on credit cards, rich husband/boyfriend......lol

Myself personally have a pretty well paying job and my husband and I don't have kids and we don't have a mortgage or pay for the cars. (all paid off)

I wish I could say I've been smart and saved money to pay for them. But noooooooo...

The first department I hit when I go to Dillards is the purse department. Always have. I don't know that I ever purchased a bag at full price. I'd go just for the thrill of the clearance.

Had some trauma and drama when I was about 43.

As a result of all of the drama came stress and anxiety.

Soooooo... Last year I had a Brahmin meltdown in Dillards and the obsession is still going on.

I won't admit to how many I've purchased in the last 6 months or so... All on credit cards.

Life is short, what can I say?

I buy mine with a credit card ! I like to get points ect but I never buy another one until I pay off the first one . I buy a few bags a year !

LOL I love this thread! Great question. Thank goodness for my job, having a cushy savings account, and not having too many monthly bills. This allows me to splurge from time to time.

It's a combination of both for me. I'm a travelling rn and my boyfriend likes to buy me nice things. But I say hard work pays off )

 

[MahoganyQT]

I work and make my own money. I also have a husband who doesn't ask many questions!

Ditto!

0% intro APR credit cards.

I pinch and save, don't go out to eat often, and don't buy unnecessary things. It is totally worth it when I walk out of the store with my new luxury items and no debt or regret. The boyfriend has also begun to support my collection

 

[bloodyxcape]

i just work and save money of course. i'm 27, no kids, work full time at a decent paying job BUT i still live with my parents so i don't have to worry about paying rent/utilities or any of that mess. i pay my own cell bill, car payments and insurance and have no CC debt. the only things i really splurge on are purses and action figures (i'm such a nerd lol).

 

[cinaminbabee]

I save up for each item, putting aside a set amount per month to contribute to my handbag fund

What an interesting career! I remember waaaaay back when I was a new grad I would look at those ads in Nursing 85 magazine and think "I should do that someday." Never did though....

i think i set the limit of 5 grands a year on bags. the quantity depends on the price of the bags i'm gonna get.
i take extra jobs to fund most of my bags
