It can be hard to resist buying new things, I know. Have you considered selling any of the items you no longer wear? It might not be worth much, but some money is better than no money.<br />And at least you did get some amazing purchases out of it. It's better to splurge or something you know you're going to get a lot of use out of.<br />I do hope things get better for you. Think positive.

I don't think I'm going to be ever buying anything Kate Spade from what you just said!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get some luck with the job department & just feel better.

But I feel you - sometimes we look around our rooms and think, wow do I need/care about all this?<br /><br />I cut down a lot on purchases since I was in grad school and am still looking for a new job. My husband makes a decent living, but I don't want money to be why I should go on a spending spree. Regardless of whether it's $50 or $500 look at the item and decide whether it's a timeless piece in your closet/home. I think it's really helped me. I'm still super tempted by sales but am trying to keep/buy things that will last for a while.<br /><br />You do have some pretty insanely awesome items so you've already got a great closet of course! Can you eBay/donate what you don't like? Perhaps the guitar can be sold/given to a school or family member wanting to learn?little luxury listhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17630812969476483227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-67706078163545012642010-06-14T18:41:11.282-05:002010-06-14T18:41:11.282-05:00Oh I hope things get better.

I went through a time in my life as well that I definitely wish I could go back and not spend all the money! It was before I knew I was moving to Italy and that I would need every penny! We must go through these things in order to teach us valuable lessons. It is good that we are learning while we are young and before we make a really enormous purchase that we might regret.
