Re: do you ever feel guity for spending $$$?

Constantly...I'm such a bargain shopper...I once spent $180 on a dress to wear at a wedding and it drove me crazy...

I'm being inspired by some of the girls on this board to spend a little more on myself...but I get anxiety over it.

I could never just go out and blow a whole paycheck on a bag or one pair of jeans.

I'm more of a clearance rack kinda girl...lol.

Sometimes if I have been doing it a lot. Other times like if the new season has just come out and I haven't been on a spree in while then I don't. I fiugre I work hard, I might as well enjoy it!

Re: do you ever feel guity for spending $$$?

YES IT STINKS!! I'm so pathetic. I was at Nordstromlast weekend and I found this bag that I really loved it was $350. So I stood there for 10 minutes going back and forth as to whether to buy it or not. I left without the bag. I just feel so guilty sometimes.

It depends. Before I had DD and was working my butt off for not a lot of $$$ I would feel really guilty. But now that DH is doing well and I am home with DD all day long, I feel justified in spending a little on myself sometimes....I guess it all depends on where I am in my life. I would feel really guilty spending it if we didn't have it though.

Yes, and even though DH does very well, I am, and always will be, a cheap a$$!!! Chat Icon

I'll spend the money when I think the item is worth it though, and if I really need/want it, and not feel guilty at all.

Re: do you ever feel guity for spending $$$?

sometimes... i try and hold off buying things until i have a little extra put off on the side... i have to have been thinking about the item for awhile. i'm not as "impulsive" as before i had a kid.

Re: do you ever feel guity for spending $$$?

Not guilty per se, but often feel like there could be better use for that $$. I keep hearing about the direction the economy is going to turn or how we should have 10s of millions to retire on. I also look at my girls future and want to give them a certain life. I like to give them a lot more than I am getting, if that makes sense.Chat Icon I am just that kind of mom.

Exactly. But as long as we can afford it the feeling does pass pretty quickly.
