I find it disgusting that she could spend that much money. My goodness, we live comfortably off of less than $26,000 a year and that's counting what I make on the side tax free. Granted we have tight times when the gas bill is high from the cold months but we're not starving and we have a good home. Why does someone feel the need to have a stupid basketball court besides all the other junk in her obviously big backyard??
On the other hand - I can understand the urge that she had to spend. When hubby was hospitalized and in a coma his parents and I went to the store to get a few items that we'd forgotten to pack. I wanted so badly to shop and shop and shop. I enjoy it, it felt good, new things fresh things helped me forget the pain of the potential loss.
The difference between this woman and me is that I left the shopping because I recognized it as self destructive. What would I do if hubby DID die? I needed to save the money to live off of till I found better work. I needed to be frugal. I knew it wasn't what he'd want me to do. Why didn't her "safety" mechanism kick in? Where was her little nagging concience?? This wasn't right for her to do. Those people gave to her to help her. She needed that to provide for her kids. She should have recognized that and invested it first thing so that she wouldn't be tempted. If she didn't have that nagging voice SOMETIME or other between the 500,000 shoes and the basketball court, then she's missing a vital part of being a sensitive human being.
