[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buy it.  If you’ve loved it for this long it’s a sign that you should buy it.   You’ll wear it, love it, get compliments for how beautiful it is and that $5k will be forgotten.

I don’t like the feel of jewelry so no splurging for me on jewelry.

I receive about $3,500 - $5,000 from a trust every month but I don’t have any bills to pay so I can use it for anything.   It starts to add up in my underwear drawer because I cash it and usually don’t put it my checking account.

[b]I usually have between $8,000 and $15,000 in my drawer.[/b]  I can’t think of one thing I would like to buy for myself. Recently I spent $9,000 on my niece’s tuition.  I buy everyone tickets to events, if we go somewhere with my sisters and nieces my husband pays.   I buy everyone’s plane tickets when we go somewhere, including my sister with her two kids because they can’t afford it.

I wish I could treat myself but I’m not comfortable buying anything for me.  I just love buying for other people.  [/quote]

Are you trying to hide this money from your spouse or something?  Just wondering why you don't put the money in an investment or high yield savings account...but rather take it in literal cash and put it in your dresser.[/quote]
