A thousand dollar handbag is NOT expensive? And you label yourself a conservative? You must be joking.
For 1k I can get the best maxpedition bag and stuff it w the best tshtf items.
Its called priorities. Michelle antoinette and her maddoffian husband don’t have any I can identify w on any level.
Let me ask you this, do you consider it conservative to buy a very expensive patio set once in your life or to buy inexpensive patio furniture every 3 to 5 years? Do you buy a handbag with seams that fray, materials that wear after a year or one that will last a lifetime? I spend my money wisely. The first thing i spent it on was eliminating totally wasteful interest payments. I often think people do not understand what conservative really is. With money, it is being prudent and planning. Getting the most for it in the long view, not using it for short term gratification. It is not measured in how little you pay buying junk that wears out quickly.
