Baggage?

Louis Vuitton 'Trevi' PM

My excuses... no justifications for buying such an outrageous bag:excuses... no justifications for buying such an outrageous, ridiculously priced handbag:

1. Not having it is a distraction

2. I have the $$$ now

3. I will be in school for another 8 years, and will accrue thousands of dollars in debt so I will never be able to "afford" it

4. I will not buy another bag ever again (exaggeration...but I really mean a loooonngg time)

5. This is an investment, it can withstand a lot because of its craftsmanship and will probably last forever

6. I deserve it, well this is what my bf says, but it would be a nice gift to myself

7. I said I would feel guilty spending this much on something so material, but I am also spending about the same to go on a mission trip, so in my mind it somewhat balances out? (my logic may be faulty on this one, but it makes me feel better)

8. It is sturdy, has two straps to be worn different ways, perfect size, and I love it more than any other purse I've seen.

9. Prices of designer bags go up! not down, when it first came out it was $1450 now its $1660 ...which means I should get it now

10. I think it goes with everything, or at least I would wear it with everything...

My reasons for not buying it:

1. The money could be spent on so much more! For instance another vacation, a nicer camera to take pictures for my blog, a bike, a lesser priced, but still nice bag, or all of these combined!

2. I could always do the boring thing and put it in a savings that has a 1.35% interest rate -.-

So what do you guys think?? Lets have a poll shall we... I'm really on the fence and go from mood swings of definitely getting it to swearing off all bags.
