[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never seen the show, but I grew up poor, and I am still frugal right now.  I am content, I have plenty of money now so I don't need to buy luxury items trying to impress anyone.  It's funny because when I was poor(er), in my early 20s, I was the opposite, having no money made me wanting to spend more, fresh out of college I would buy purse that cost one paycheck.  Now I don't!  A classic looking $500 purse will do, it would be weird to carry a Chanel to work anyway![/quote]
Wow, you are really humble, carrying your "with the people" 500 dollar purse instead of a Chanel.

"With the people "at work would be more than $500, a $500 bag is definitely below average but who cares.  Try get one with no logo/not easily recognizable.  [/quote]

There is nothing wrong with a $500 bag, but calling yourself "frugal" and then immediately following up with the fact that you carry a $500 bag means either:

1.  You are trolling
2.  You don't understand what "frugal" means
3.  You are incredibly out of touch and only associate with people who pay even more ludicrous sums for basic items

or any combination of the 3.[/quote]

OK.[/quote]
