Wrinkles gone

That sounds strange.
Someone with her money and connections to be so careless.

Let's not forget Priscilla Presley. Good grief! She admitted that she was operated on by an unlicensed cosmetic surgeon who injected her face w/industrial grade silicone used to lubricate automobile parts!

Different people - different priorities - different set of values.

Me?? - I'd prefer to have a kitchen stove that works!

Marigold's post where she mentioned a Coach bag, brought something to mind. Having the money to be extravagant is one story, but indulging yourself when you can't afford it, is quite another story. Unfortunately, this happens all to often.

My 30 something yr old niece is a prime example. She has 6 different Coach bags (at last count), has had a boob job, drives a fancy Mustang, both the kids (under 12 yrs old), have their own computers, cell phones, digital cameras, IPods, just to name a few examples, gym membership for the whole family, and on and on. Can they afford this??? - nope! Then hubby lost his job, they got behind on all their payments for everything, including the house, and were facing foreclosure. Daddy (my brother) had to "loan" them the money to catch up on the mortgage so they didn't end up losing everything. Of course he's certain that loan will never be repaid.

So yes - they had what they felt were the finer things in life - but at what cost?? Guess they're lucky that Daddy has deep pockets.

Okay - that was a little off topic, but just an example of what we spend our money on, whether we can afford it or not. I'm sure MANY women go deeply in debt just so they can nipped, tucked, plumped, suctioned, etc. - kind of like a gambling or drug or alcohol addiction - once you start, then you're hooked.
