How much would you spend

[cassiesmom]

I say if it fits in your budget go for it! We do only live once!

I'm with Pam. If it fits in your budget, and it makes your heart skip a beat, then go for it.

Hate to admit it, but I am a Vera Bradley junkie. I don't know how many I have, but it's a lot. However, a bunch of them are used that I got on Ebay, so in my opinion that alleviates some of the guilt.

Problem is, I saw that on their website that they are having a 50% off sale and I am sorely tempted. I do use all of them; I'm always swapping them out and they are wonderful for carrying lots of items (zipper pockets, 3 slip-in pockets on the inside), so that's why I indulge.

Purple is my favorite color, so if this is your dream bag, go for it!

I'd never spend that kind of money on a purse either.

I've never understood buying designer things to impress strangers on the street. And I've always been concerned about people who derive so much of their self-esteem from "stuff". (I have a family member who seems to think her life will magically change if she buys something she saw one of those vapid Kardashian's wore).

That being said, if you can afford it. If you don't have to charge it to your credit card. If all your other bills are paid. Buy it and enjoy it.

I wanted to add that I am not at all critical of anyone who spends a lot for a purse - it's just not something that would give me joy. But I bet it would make you smile every time you used it, which is hard to put a price on!

My thoughts too. If you've got it - then go for it.

Years ago when I was working and had the income to indulge myself at times - I would. Retirement and Social Security has changed my views and spending habits. It was fun while it lasted, but I never over indulged even when I could.

OMG we went into the coach store one day just for fun... You can't even buy a coin purse for under $50. I thought there was gonna be a cover charge at the door just to get in lol. $700 for a bag. I almost had a heart attack

If you can afford it right now, buy it- you will always love it.
I had no-money-times in my life and money times. I always loved luxury- which could be a Chanel nail varnish at times where I checked how much I spend for food- or a luxury purse at other times
