<p>I decided last summer that I would take some birthday money and buy myself a Coach bag. It was just ok. After a couple of months I sold it on Ebay for 3/4 of what I paid. I had long wanted an expensive bag but when I finally got it just didn’t see the big deal after awhile.</p>
<p>DH and I could afford brand new cars but don’t go there. I put on 40K miles per year commuting to work so the value of a new car would go way down in the first year or so. DH doesn’t commute at all (works from home) so there really is no need for him to have something brand spanking new. He did purchase himself a Spyder (motorcycle) last year and a new snowmobile this year. This was with my blessing and his last motorcycle he had for 20 years and snowmobile for 15 so he was due for an upgrade on his only hobbies.</p>
