[quote=Anonymous]It's not personally worth it to me. I'd rather spend my money on vacations or my second home. I'm going to guess that I've never spent more than $300 on a bag, maybe up to $500. My current bag is a $250 MZ Wallace that's super functional. I love that it converts to a backpack because I used to get shoulder pain from carrying a bag on one side.

Same thing with shoes and clothes. I've probably never spent more than $200 on a pair of shoes, $100 on a single item of clothing except maybe a fancy dress or winter coat. But then I love all things sparkly and I probably have $40k worth of jewelry, which is more than my car cost.

Whatever you do and whatever you love, just do it for you. If you can afford it and it makes you happy, great. If you're questioning what other people think about your purchases, that sounds less great. Are you surrounded by shallow people who judge you based on your purchases? I only want to be around people who appreciate me, with my odd frugality in some areas and my fancy jewelry and vacations on the other hand.

I have this theory that procuring things, even things that impact our lives very little like metal we wear on our fingers, triggers our primal instincts to have security . . . food and housing security, as well as secure standing in our tribe. So we can get super invested in figuring out just what to spend our money on and how to get it. And I don't think there's really anything wrong with that as long as we're not spending money we don't have or trying to buy our way out of emotional insecurity.[/quote]
