[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,
The same stuff with tags sells for a couple bucks at Value Village, goodwill, etc.  We make about $170k a year but still struggle (special needs kid = bills).  We give each other new clothes for birthday/Xmas, but for regular stuff other than underwear we shop 2nd hand.  [/quote]

Seriously?LOL If you're struggling, I'm sure you have far more wiggle room to change things than OP.

OP, as someone with a HHI under 100K (hell, under 75k), I understand. But you know what? I still treat myself and consider it a bill. My gift to myself is a gel manicure and monthly pedicure. I cut my cable over a year ago in exchange. I work hard and I deserve to have some of my wants, even if it means compromise. I eat healthy and workout so that I look good in any brand. If I want designer clothes, I go consignment or TJMaxx. I don't shop ever week or month, but I treat myself to SOMEthing every pay day. It's another bill and I am worth it. I have lots of friends with daughters, so DD gets lot of hand me downs that are super cute.

We are rich in other ways. DD's bday party last week had 4 generations represented, including two of her great-grandparents who love on her heavy! Think of the ways in which you are particularly blessed and give thanks for them daily. I won't always be paycheck to paycheck and I'm not about to wait for then to be happy.[/quote]
