ooo... i don't know exactly, i dont even know if this helps you really, but
my bf got me my luxe bowler (retail = 2150 usd) a little while back
after i had agonized and obsessed over it for the longest... i had NO luck getting one -finally i had a break, with the help of a VERY lovely pF-er, and tracked one down. BUT even though i got the opportunity, i couldnt get myself to actually plunk down the 2300$ (i'm a student, and that ='s a whole quarter's worth of tuition) and i felt guilty about spending my hard earned cash on one bag
needless to say... my boyfriend to the rescue. -he just looks at me in a serious face and goes "you're kidding me right?? you've been complaining about that bag FOREVER... if you don't get it, you're just going to be worse... (meaning, i'd be complaining AND regretting it) and he just said there was NO way he could handle any more of that -and handed me a credit card
so i guess my agony was in some way his too -lol
i don't know if that helps you!! (but also keep in mind, my bf is not by any means a rich dude, just a very hard worker and has a HUGE heart)
-im pretty sure that didnt help you at all, lol ...but good luck!
