That's the sad part. I know plenty of 'stay at home' wives who have no kids and just spend their money like there is no tomorrow on the latest Fendi (not even real leather!!!!!) bag but THEY CAN AFFORD TO DO IT...They're filthy rich and its no big deal. Mean while I know plenty of others who spend $500 a pair of shoes or $2K on a handbag and make no more than $100K a year. 2% of their personal income on a A bag?!
another reason why we hear these celebrities go broke after their 15 minutes of fame are up.
Glad you said all that. Even if you could afford to do it, there is a needy world out there that needs help. And if you can't afford to do it - get a grip on what matters.
Damn! I said I wouldn't say anything. Ooooooops.
Its pretty cool how LB can start a long thread on topics like a cute tween idol with good looking shoes.
