Most of my friends know and understand i love Chanel and spend the money for bags, etc. But they tease me by saying that i am nuts - for the price of one chanel, i could get so much other stuff - my justification is that it is my personal preference and it is not like i am using money that should be for other things (house, car, retirement, etc.) ....do you guys get questioned also? Is it envy? Or something else?

not necessarily envy, just a matter of different tastes/preferences/value systems/priorities. Just like how my bestie prefers to splurge 80% of her mnthly income on really good food, car maintenance and her dog, I prefer to save and splurge on the occassional Chanel. I would rather eat budget biscuits and pantry coffee for lunch and take public transport everywhere unlike her.

I got Chanels and I still have money left to pay for the other things that I want. So why not Chanel?

Yeah! People have different tastes and values.

I don't have any kids. Now my friends that DO have kids spend LOTS of $$ on them-daycare, private schools, toys, clothes, etc......
So the way I see it, I spend WAY less on something that I chose (my bags), than they do on what they chose (to raise children). And they DO give me attitude smetimes about how much $$$ the bags are. I find it pretty hypocritical:shame: , but I don't waste my time with an answer to try to justify my lifestyle to them. Nor should anyone here;)

My BF thinks it's the biggest waste of money! He just doesn't understand my love for purses & how they make me so happy. So I agree, maybe not jealousy (although could very well be), but just different taste. They just haven't been bitten by the luxe bug yet! hehehe
