I didn't spend $200 plus on my purses, I only spent about $75.00 on one that I paid for from my lifeguarding job. I made $75.00 in about 7 hours. Which was about a day plus some extra. I had that kind of money when I was working that great job that paid great. Now...not so much. I don't have the spare cash like that anymore. I also worked 50 + hours a week over the summer making about 9 to 10 an hour.
A lot of people would like the privilege of turning down a job of cleaning up cat poo, but I do have it and I did because it was the best call for me. Think what you like of me being a silver-spooned brat. I'm not, and I know that. Also it was 40 miles of driving a day just for work. No thanks, not when gas prices are on the rise.
It also sounds like my parents are in a different financial situation than yours, they have two mortgages...my sisters house and theirs...and eventually mine. Just gotta get the down payment ready for mine. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to be choosy about my jobs, but that's just the hand I was dealt. I realize that. I appreciate it.
I don't have a credit card btw. Mom and dad would rather die than let me get one. Until I get a job, I won't get a credit card.
