That is good that you have got your priorities in order. Yes, owning a home is way more important than a new bag, IMO!!
Congrats on your decision!

URGH!! I had it in my checkout basket and everything and then I just ... decided against it.

Then...I got to thinking. I want a house, and to buy a house we need to pay down some of our debt first. Soo...I am funneling all money in to pay down debt (all income producing, secured debt - I do not beleive in Credit Cards) and then save up for a downpayment on a house. I am hoping by the time we have the funds to buy prices will drop another 2-5%. We will see though.

So my splurge will end up being a California King sized bed because we have been sleeping on a Queen and it's hard because my hubby and I are not tiny people. He's tall and I am chunky.

I will probably get a Damier Azur Hampstead next year sometime. I will stick to the Montorgueil PM for Christmas...

Two LV's in one year (Marilyn and Montorgueil) is no small feat. I am a little sad though...
I think you made a good decision. .. saving up for a dp on new home is much better than getting a new bag.

I commend you for making a really mature and responsible decision. Yes, in the larger scheme of things, saving up for new home would be way more worthwhile than for handbag. And Christmas is really not that long away!

We have a house, but it's rented out because the market sucks and we relcated to be closer to my work. Before, I had a 3 hour round trip commute...200 miles a day!!! Now it's 30 minutes/12 miles

The house is Hubby's though... He got it before we met.

I want to put 30% down and get a 15 year note so I got work cut out for me.

Nash,
I'm proud of you. I know it's hard to say no when you really want something. But in the long run the house will be much more pleasing. Just hang in there and think about Christmas.

The only thing that sucks is that I was hoping we would move in a couple of years somewhere else because neither of us are FROM here and both of us want to go back to where we used to live. However, I would only get paid 50-60% of what I do here, and we have some personal problems there as well (ex related - she ran off, but her whole extended family is there and doesn't let up). We rented instead of buying straight up because we weren't sure what part of this area we want to be.

However, we have our other property there and this is close enough so...I guess we will just buy in TN.
