Splurges... funny thing, that. If you were to ask me publicly (because this really isn't public, right?) I'd say I don't splurge because splurging is the biggest financial sin when you're following a budget. Purchases should be well thought out, days in advance, and be things you could absolutely not live without. We're nearing retirement age and I don't want to be stuck eating catfood casserole in my old age.
But when nobody's looking...
Purses. Not trendy expensive things with fancy patterns and gilded logos, but real purses for real people. Backpacks for hiking, messenger bags for walking, purses for everyday and small little things for when I have just too much stuff to fit in my pockets. But only two fancy small clutch purses for when I have to go somewhere dressed up (that I can't get out of). These purses all have to be comfortable to wear, and roomy enough to carry all my "stuff" without looking too bulky (although I'm still searching for a clutch purse that will fit my iPad). I have many. Many, many... many. So many I couldn't even give a number. The number is so embarrassing that if my husband were to walk into the room right now I'd quickly delete this post and surf porn, because it would be less humiliating that admitting to my purse addiction.
