[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Divorced, HHI 170k, grown children,

Jewelry: I might splurge on $500 earrings once or twice every few years.
Handbags: One expensive bag, $1500-2000, every year-- usually in the fall
Cars: Cash purchase 2015 Acura TLX; going strong at 120k miles with no plans to buy another vehicle anytime soon.
Clothing/coats/shoes: I spend about 15k on clothing yearly.
Eating out: Not often (I don't count trips to Dunkin or Starbucks as eating out since the cost is nominal).
Vacations: 2k yearly
Hair salon: 2,400 yearly[/quote]

10% of gross income on clothes and handbags?![/quote]

+2 Say what?? Not surprised, sadly.[/quote]

Why shouldn't she? Not my thing, but it seems like she has the money with only $2k on vacations, presumably no car payment, etc. Lots of people here would be okay with her spending way more on travel, for instance. Plus she has no kids at home, which frees up quite a bit of money.[/quote]

And it seems that she's taking care of her hair too. I bet this is a stylish, classy, and put together AA woman,  you know the type, with perfectly tailored clothing and great hair. [/quote]

What is AA? Alcoholics Anonymous? [/quote]

No, African American. We spend a lot to take care of our hair. Even more if you have children.[/quote]
