working up the courage for first high end purchase... (long)

I don't think that you are being irrational. You've worked hard and saved that money specifically for the purchase. Don't let anyone else make you feel bad for spending YOUR money. I think your LV purchase is a wise, classic buy - you'll love it, and if you really don't after a while, you can always resell it.

Let us know what you decide....I hope you TREAT yourself!
 
I feel bad when I realize how much bags I can buy with my rent and ask myself why I don't live with my aunt! LOL! The peace of mind is worth it but the bags!!! Oh! I could buy one a month with it!!!
 
^^^LOL kathyrose i am kicking myself for not knowing about designer bags a couple years ago when i lived with my mom, had no rent, no car payment, and only a very very small wedding to save for! :smile:

thanks for all your kind words! i'm going to suck it up and get the bag. :smile: still excited! it's my money and in the words of eric cartman "i'll do what i want!" hehe i'm sure i'll feel great about it a couple days later, after the initial shock wears off.
