re: Lady’s purse cost

1.) I think $100

2.) I think 3-5, her thing is shoes which I think would be a 10 and cost a hell of a lot more than the purse.

3.) no idea but for me personally I’m a addicted to knives…. Pocket knives and fixed blades. I spend a lot on them but hey it brings me joy.

Funny thing is I have some knives that cost as much or more than guns and I still carry a Buck 110 most days.

My ex-wife used to buy expensive purses and hide them in a box in the garage when she came home from her job. She’d pull it out the next morning when she left for work. She confessed after the divorce when she got her meds dialed-in.

That’s all I got.

Purses are like shoes…

The cheap ones are not good, and the good ones are not cheap.

Depends on where you are in life.

My gf is a degreed finance professional (yes, LSU) but half my age, so we still Cabo and Europe and all that, but it is true that the trappings are really expensive.

Chanel bag plus Christian L. red soles and LV sunglasses can easily set you back 10k. But so can two Armani suits and I've done that for myself (think suits & ties for court).

Being older, retired, and no exes or kids makes this life *far* easier, but still, the modern world is very expensive.

I had this GF that had to have the matching wallet.. I refused to buy her any of that crap.. Purse could be 400 and the matching wallet could be 300...

I told her that if she bought a $45,000 purse it better have $44,500 cash in it.

Not so much with LV but Hermes quota bags (Birkin/Kelly/Constance) basically come with cash in the bag. They are worth a great deal more on the secondary market than you pay retail.

My wife worked her way up to quota bags about 12 years ago (it was easier then) and gets to buy 2 quota bags per year. She carries them for a season and sells them for ~50% more than she paid. She literally gets paid to carry them. Her bag obsession has been a financial positive over the years. While she would have come to the same conclusion independently she does the same thing with bags I did with watches for many years. Watches are the closest male corollary to bags.

It’s ridiculous the amount of money on Chanel, LV, YSL, Gucci, Versace, CL all that crap, Hell she can only wear it to a few places and just takes up space in closet! Waste of money but they all do it! It’s a competition when walking out the door.??

Most nice purses cost $6,000-$8,000.sometimes a tad more. It just like a nice golf trip with the boys.

1. About $600

2. No idea, she hinted about a new purse last Christmas, I went to one of those nice boutiques in Towne Square, good quality.
