I agree - I'm not only addicted to bags, but I'm addicted to this blog too! Every second I get I'm checking it. Even at home before I go to bed, I'll sneak on the computer while everyone's asleep!

Thankfully 10% of my paycheck goes into the company savings plan before I ever see it. I also need to start selling some of the bags I never use on Ebay. Probably will work on that project this weekend.

Sell bags on Ebay ASAP. THEN save that money away!

I was just thinking about this yesterday. I wanted to write up a "contract" and sign it in front of the bf, stating that I would not buy a new bag for 90 days, until my birthday on May 3. But then I ordered the LV agenda... it's not a bag, but my self control went out the window as soon as the SA called me back saying she had found one. At least I'm using the money I will get from selling the vintage Speedy 25. After this, I think I will take a break. Or so I tell myself that.

It does feel good to get a new bag, but I think what feels even better is knowing that your student loans are being paid off, or that you don't have a huge balance on your credit card from going bag crazy.

YES--a convert! So no Wisteria Spy or Honey Spy for you! :lol:

YES. But then you'd spend money. No jars of glitter. Just free fireworks, shiny pieces of metal that you can find on the ground, and all those shiny pennies, dimes, nickels, and quarters you can collect.

Find a penny, pick it up, and all day you'll have good luck!

:lol: excellent idea, wickedassin! I've been thinking about making my 2005 Roth IRA contributions, and this is just the motivation that I needed (I am still smarting after making all my estimated KY state tax payments before Jan 31). No more bags!!! I need to save for a cross country move, and a house down payment!!!

My name is Grace, and I'm a bag-a-holic! I don't really want to total up how much I've spent on handbags in the past year... it would make me weep! :shame:

It's still not too late for the 2005 contribution--just get it in before April 15. AND if you happen to miss it--don't spend the money, put it in anyways and it'll count towards 2006. :amuse:

well they couldn't cancel it, so i'm basically have to wait till i get it, then ship it back because they said it was too late in the order process, which i don't understand because it's been 5 days and i still haven't gotten the tracking number????

but yes, it's going to be refunded.

Who did you order it from?

Is this your first paycheck ever?!? If so, you can use it on a splurge so it's something memorable. BUT if it's just the first paycheck of a new job--NO PURSE FOR YOU. And those are WAYYYYYY too many purses. At most you can get one. So evaluate which would be the best investment. Then you should put some of those paychecks away into a Roth IRA or another savings account. :P

Being addicted to the blog is ok. If you're not earning money--you won't be able to buy bags--then my mission is complete! :amuse:

Just teasing, I know what you mean... This place IS addicting. I check it way too much!

LOL! I always think I'm done with the last bag...but then another comes out and I can't resist!

But yes, my bf has been pressuring me to invest. ...to get more bags in the future? hehe...I can take it easier if I look at it that way.
