[quote=Anonymous]I can’t stand the self righteousness of women who post here to say they earn some large income but only shop at Target.

Designer items are a luxury and a luxury is by definition non-essential. But most people who can afford it do enjoy SOME kind of luxury in their lives. Maybe it’s fashion, maybe it’s splurging on vacation, maybe it’s an extra nice home or car. And if you have a high income but deny yourself any “luxuries” you are actually just indulging in the luxury of squirreling money away for both extra security and so you can brag on dcum about your high NW.

I know dcum is not the place to preach this, but people are different and enjoy different things and make different choices, and it’s all okay.

The OP asked a simple question, and the answer (which I gave previously) is that there is not a solid correlation between owning or wearing designer items and HHI or net worth.

I personally started buying more high end things as I got older and my income climbed, both because I enjoy designer fashion and because I want to buy things that last for years and years (and then can be resold and have a new life). But many other women splurge the most in their 20s when their HHI is low but they have a lot of disposable income. Other people splurge in order to feel richer than they are. I know it’s easy to see someone decked out in labels and think they must be rich, but that’s just not true - maybe they are, maybe they aren’t.

But if you enjoy it and get value out of it and can afford it, good for you! If not, that’s fine too. [/quote]
