[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a less expensive house so that I don’t have to work FT or even at all. This also lets me afford Botox, quality skincare products (not drugstore stuff), Retin-A, time to work out, hobbies, and down-time. I have a SN kid and I really don’t have time to do it all. I envy that some moms can manage it. More power to them.

[b]If it really means something to you, you’ll have to free up resources for it because it will cost some time and money. You might have to cut cable or buy a cheaper car or whatever you think you can swap out. [/b]

The Botox, Retin-A, skincare and gym cost about $3k a year. I don’t drink alcohol, think of how much people spend on that and it’s not even good for you!

You’ll have to decide it’s not frivolous and it’s important to you. I told my husband “Look, I only get one face and if I don’t take care of it, it won’t take care of itself.”

My husband wasn’t on board with the Botox and pricier skincare until he saw the results. He said the change is “pretty amazing.”[/quote]

Similar story here.  I have a friend who was aghast at the cost of medical grade skin treatments for a mid-40s woman, even though she really wanted to do it.  She drives a way nicer car than me, she has a lovely home with a stunning yard, and she takes great vacations.  More power to her, if she prefers to spend her money that way.  But, at a certain point, you have to decide what is important to you.  I'd rather spend my money at a medispa than on landscaping, because I get more enjoyment out of the results.  Everyone is different and can make different choices, but really fighting aging requires resources.[/quote]
