    Default Expensive purse....

    Wow, I have not posted in a long time. Hmmmm, I was wondering if you wonderful ladies could help me with a dilemma? I was out shopping and I found the most beautiful Marc Jacobs purse. I've been meaning to treat myself for a long time, but always find an excuse not to buy something this nice. Anyway, the purse was on sale (from $1600 to $1000), and I bought it. Now I'm feeling the guilty waves.

    Anyway, the thing is, I probably won't wear it too often, as I am a student, etc. But I was thinking that I could wear it on dates or something (to attract the right kind of man, skewed thinking I know!). It was more money than I have ever spent on anything, I love it, but I'm worried that it may give people the wrong impression as well (that I'm rich or something, which is far from the truth). Also, I come from a very poor family. Mind you, I've been working really hard from the time I was 14, but it makes me feel bad that I bought something that is the equilvalent to my mothers income for the entire month. I've always helped her if she needs it, but I feel as if I can't live my entire life never getting what I really want due to guilt. It seems as if I have made this a really loaded question (it just seems to bring up so many other issues) but what do you guys think?

    Your money, you worked hard for it, you are worth it!!!! Don't feel guilty, I just did the same thing this weekend! And I am worth it too!

    What is the good of having money if you can never treat yourself?

    Have fun with your new purse!

    Personally, I don't get off on expensive purses, but if you wanted it that bad I think you should stop feeling guilty. Bills and helping your mom out are obligations. Once thats covered, go ahead and live a little! You will lose motivation to work if you don't reward yourself once in a while. I would consider it your duty to spend a portion of your income on something you enjoy.

    Thanks ladies! I have been working hard. Now I want to buy everything!

    Yet, I think that the main problem is that I'm always so paranoid. Paranoid that I'll lose my job, paranoid that I'll lose everything that I've worked so hard for. I guess that when I saw myself spending so much on some leather and chain straps (lol, ahhh, the fashion industry), it brought out those tendencies. Also, I had an addictive spending habit in the past, that I'm worried could resurface again. Anyone have a similar situation?

    You're reading too much into it.. Not a big deal, we all splurge from time to time. And hey, if you lose your job or get into a tight financial situation you can always sell the purse

    I am in the same boat as you are. I bought myself a Louis Vuitton bag about a year ago and it cost a lot more that anything I have ever owned. I used to use it pretty regularly but then my friends would be like "You're wearing how much on your arm?!?!" Students don't really appreciate stuff like that I guess.

    Anyway currently Louis is sleeping in his dust bag in the top of the closet the majority of the time but I am proud of myself for being able to save and buy something I truly love.
