I'll have money in the bank and you won't

I have a job that pays really well and I buy clothes pretty much once or twice a year.
Outside of work I pretty much live in teeshirts and jeans.

It all comes down to how badly you want to "fit in" and how much your willing to pay I guess.

Status symbols, clothes, cars, houses mean nothing to me. I'd rather spend my hard earned money traveling and seeing the world.
To each his/her own...

Agreed! I find travel so much more valuable than a purse but to each their own... I just can't see how a purse can bring you as much joy as a trip somewhere... and they cost about the same. How many stories or memories can you get from a purse? How many people do you get to meet because of this purse and how many fantastic experiences does it bring you? Can it give you a sun tan??? Can it give you that pure bliss from lying on a beach or seeing the most beautiful scenery or from just having a laugh with friends? Can you find LOVE from a purse???

If the answer to those questions is 'yes', then ok, I see where you're coming from
