my view is that everyone has their thing. Men buy "toys" also but very often they are far more expensive than our whole bag collection. Personally I could care less about driving a $50k+ car. If I have an extra $800/month I'd rather buy more real estate or an appreciating asset than drop that on a car note. .....In comparison, my bags are paid in full and I don't have a "note" every month on them...For my girlfriends that don't understand, I note that the money they drop on getting their hair and nails done every month equates to buying one $1200 bag every year. I do my own hair and nails....I'd rather have a fly bag.

Anyhoo...those are the justifications I use when my circle looks at me like I am crazy when I buy a new bag.
