“No average person spends $800 on a handbag.”
Don’t be so quick to say that. As a guy, I would say that but I’ve seen my mother-in-law spend that much on a purse... much to my amazement. She has a collection of purses with a number of them over $500 from the last 20 years or so. Her last big purse purchase was for $850. And she isn’t rich...
I made a deal with my wife that if she didn’t buy an $800 purse I would always stop at her favorite place to buy ice tea when ever she wanted (easy agreement because she really doesn’t understand her mother’s thing for expensive purses).
My wife is a big purse person as well. However - it is the cheap, normal ones. “Don’t you already have a purse like that?” “Sort of, but the other one is brown. And it doesn’t have a snap on the pocket like this one does. Plus, this was on sale - only $28!”
Thankfully that is about her only weakness when it comes to buying things.
