Wow 
I was a fan since 1998 when I first spotted monogram canvas! Then, aged 23 in 2008, I got my first speedy! cheers!

Hmmm... been a bag-a-holic for many years, mainly Mulberry bags. Then moved to Tokyo Japan in 2005, and the rest is history!! Saw luxury bags everywhere and wanted my share of the glam: Came home 2009 with several LVs and some Chanel flaps. 
Still looking for "the perfect bag"!

I got my first LV in 2007, a Speedy 40. I was a waiter at a hotel... and when I saw it online a few months before, I knew I had to save and save for it. I saved for like 2-3 months, and then I was able to buy it in June. Not even 2 weeks later I bought the Abbesses messenger bag. :lolots:
Aww, don't ever feel like that. A lot of people on here have to save for their items, but I know that it doesn't seem that way. I used to let the forum run my pockets, instead of me running my pockets. What I mean by that is, in the past I would buy things out of impulse rather than actually wanting them. Now-a-days I really research what I want, make a list and cross things off as I go. Prior to my purchases this past week, my last purchase was in January.
I would LOVE to have an income where I could buy LV everyday, but then life would not be as fun anymore. I like the 'challenge' of having to put money away to do what I want.
Enjoy each and every piece!

ITA... waiting does enhance the joy when you get a long-lusted-after item
I love my bags to death and I dont think Id feel that way if I could just walk into LV at any time and but whatever I wanted without thinking.
I believe most of us here at tPF have to wait a while before pulling the trigger... I´m sure there are some members who really can afford all the bags they crave for, but the majority is saving some money aside and anxiously waiting for the right time!
I have to save for my purchases too. Before I got my first LV I pretty much just drooled over other peoples' LVs for maybe a few months... then at 21 I pulled the trigger and purchased my first, a Tivoli GM. The addiction hasn't stopped since.
OMG i had to stop this poisonous addiction. 
I honestly can't remember...I bought my first LV about 8/9 years ago which was a Mono Speedy 35....I think I may have waited about a couple of months before finally decided to walk into the LV flagship store on Bloor St in T.O and made my purchase. After that, I made 3 other purchases within the year and didn't buy anything else until 2010. Last year I went crazy and brought 4 items within a few months timespan but I think I am now content with my collection...I don't forsee buying any more handbags for many months....SLGS are another story!
