Thread: Is it a waste of money?

To each her own. I personally would never spend a fortune on a pair of jeans, but I will admit to having paid quite a bit for "the perfect dress" or a great pair of shoes. Jewelry...I love it, but don't wear it nearly as much as I used to, so now I just buy new pieces when I have an event to wear them to. Makeup...if you want quality stuff that won't make you break out in hives, you gotta pay for it (I have extremely sensitive skin, so only certain brands of makeup work for me). I wouldn't call it a waste; if you can afford to do it (and still pay the bills), and it makes you happy, go for it. But there is a certain joy in finding all the things you want at half-price!

Companies know that women will pay more for things they want, and price items that way. It's also a status thing; some people judge their worth as human beings by how much they spend on nonessentials.

like as we know women spend so much on there wedding dresses witch will only be worn once
but its there choce again but what do u think

Money and such materials are all mortal things and all come to an end, so it doesn't really matter either way. I mean, if one has the money to pay for his or her essentials then does it really matter what they use the excess on?

I guess it's ok then. It's not my decision to control their life anyway. It's their choice not mine. It's their opinion or choice to do it not me so I guess I should let the people be.

I confess, I am the one to pay heaps for clothing. The thing is, that these clothings last years! I still have clothes that are perfectly good that I used to wear 6-7 years ago, Except they don't fit me LOL.

I do think it's a wastage buy them then throwing them out, or hardly ever wearing them or using them. Thats why I try to make careful decisions when buying something. Then again, I have learnt how much damage to the environment some household items can do ( both in making and disposal) So I tend to re-use alot and use things to the max.

I don't think it is a waste of money unless you can't afford it... (Trying to keep up with the Jones'..) Like some1 earlier said if you can get it & still pay bills, feed yourself &/or family then by all means... Shop til your heart is content... But don't buy high price stuff cause you want to fit in or compare to some1 else... That's being naive & foolish, but I also say save your money if you can cause in the long run your bank statement will be looking better than the " Jones' " & you can retire earlier (if you have enough) or go on a island vacation... Plus you will have better security!!!

"They say if you don't have money; you don't have anything..." "I say if I got love I have everything money can't buy..."

women are just born with the spend it and toss gene
lol an example of this is my sister she has 30 pairs of shoes
i mean my god you only have one set of feet you don't need
to have so many shoes you have no space for nothing else.

heck most women believe in charging it if they don't have the money
its just ludicras with how they thing it grows on tree's show me a girl
or women who dosnt spend more than 100 bucks on needless things
and i will take made every sexist thing i have said which i don't think
it can be done proof is what i ask for but i think that's asking
the impossible

i agree on spending money on good quality clothing that will last a long time. So $50 jeans (not that i can afford to buy them) that can last a long time seems like a good buy in my book... but, that's only for stuff you wear a lot, but for things like shirts i'd want to go cheaper. Coats... if it looks good, it looks good! and i love my coats, but none of them are expensive...

for a wedding dress... i'm pretty sure how i'd want to present myself to Darling when we get married...and i'm not sure how much it would cost...

^_^ just want him to think i'm pretty... and i'd want to feel pretty in my dress too... so, if it was expensive, i'd work hard to get it! even though his family is rich, i'm not expecting them to buy everything ^_^
