That does not mean however, that I have not made some incredibly ridiculous purchases in the past. These include but not limited to:<br /><br />1. A Bon Jovi purse on ebay I have not worn once in the five years since purchasing.<br />2. A sequence/spandex unitard with stirrups I was convinced would someday find a purpose. It hasn't. <br />and <br />3. A peacock feather headdress bought entirely for the purpose of convincing my mother I was joining a Slavic tribe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388062704140569723.post-73390133273372311342010-11-09T12:28:40.780-08:002010-11-09T12:28:40.780-08:00Travel is always money well spent in my book.Travel is always money well spent in my book.Michelle...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02046669577652755701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388062704140569723.post-19258582939927422742010-11-08T12:49:46.226-08:002010-11-08T12:49:46.226-08:00I have to echo Allison on education!

Basically ...I spend money on travel trips and food. Basically I live pretty bloody frugally all year round so I can go on a cool trip somewhere amazing at least once a year. And I don't scrimp on food. Not that I eat out very often but i'll buy the good ham off the bone, decent cheese, proper fresh bread and all that. So very worth it.<br />As a general rule I'm too tight fisted to buy overpriced coffees, sandwiches etc. It's a rip off and I make better myself.

Money well spent to me is anything involving time with those near & dear to your heart... whether it's going out for dinner or flying back home across the rockies. Wasted purchases are all those little things that add up, that you could have prevented. A latte you could have made a home but you end up buying as you're running late, etc...I do that alot, but can't seem to get up any earlier!Troublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873431738088719581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388062704140569723.post-24338970045883603252010-11-07T17:06:15.775-08:002010-11-07T17:06:15.775-08:00i like to buy a bunch of "stuff" too, bu...i like to buy a bunch of "stuff" too, but AAA is a must have for sureAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175436998279167263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388062704140569723.post-64107721358751102632010-11-07T15:53:51.633-08:002010-11-07T15:53:51.633-08:00money well spent so far:

As for your gratuitous bit about cars, hasn't the only kind you've driven for the last decade been a BMW... Not that I'll complain. They're great cars and they run well, but, there are less materialistic vehicles that fit that description...

It might play a role in my internet addiction, but I love it. She's my baby.<br /><br />Wasteful spending...I'm a girl...and though I'm not as girlie as some, I still buy a lot of stupid things I don't need. Do I need 5 purple eyeshadows? Probably not. Do I need a dress I'll only wear once? I feel like a loser just typing that. Sorry for that girlie moment, won't happen again (or not for a while).Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17510382962064055621noreply@blogger.com
