Dear friend, I do go for luxurious items if they are needed otherwise I would just transfer that money for some other purpose. More over my life is not much luxurious and also I do mostly like to be much of need based living and much like to be happy with what I needed to have. More over I do like luxurious life if I do have that much flow of income. I also hope not be too luxurious as it may effect my view on life may be not may it might be just a unknown scare. May be "Grapes are sour" .

I rarely buy anything like that! The next time I will get any kind of luxury is on our 10yr anniversary as I expect something NICE like I did my 10yr. And I don't mean designer nice exactly but you know say a pair of gold & gemstone earrings vs the 10 pairs on the card for $4.50 KWIM? Otherwise I don't buy any true luxuries unless I find them cheap like at a rummage sale. I found I Liz Claiborne purse & it was part of a $2 bag sale @ a church rummage... great shape except my wallet is too big *sigh*

Well right now I am not at the luxury to buy many things for myself. I wish I could. We are struggling with some finances right now. We just moved about three months ago from Pennsylvania to Alabama. We have a house but don't have a car and we are just getting by. However, when I do get some money I would like to buy some nice things for my son. After all, he needs to come first. I would just like us all to be happy. Materials aren't everything.
