| "a Coach piece for holding business cards can cost in the 50 dollar range!"
Gosh. All the clothes on my body, and including my watch and shoes, all together cost less than 50 bucks.
Funny how that goes. My d., full ride at Smith, is incredibly cheap with money - I have undertaken to actually give her rewards for spending. Last fall, she decided she wanted a peacoat in addition to her winter layer thing, but she couldn't imagine spending more than $30 on anything! (except musical instruments....) I offered her an immediate $10 for a picture of her in any coat she bought that cost more than $30. She finally broke down and bought...but I never got the picture (I don't think she keeps a supply of stamps.)
I think this summer I'm going to wave signed checks in front of her nose for various purchases and trips she decides to take. Only gets the checks if she sends me the receipts. But I'm not too hopeful.... |
