Are you me?
I definitely spend money and I like things, but I need to stumble upon something and want it as opposed to planning these things out.

I'm desperate for a new bra but I'm only getting one because that's already coming out of our food budget 😔
Id spend it on an extra nice dress for yom tov for myself.

I would (and do) buy as many massages as my money will cover.
First step is finding a great masseuse.
I like to spend on this during pesach prep and the week after Pesach.

Do you feel 600 vs 300 shoes are worth it?

I don't use cleaning ladies- I find I'm not satisfied with them so not worth it for me.
I am a sahm and I have the time to clean bH.
But thanks!

Personally I’d rather spend 600 on designer shoes then buy non-designer shoes for 300, I only spend on good quality. All my designer shoes where I spent $$ have lasted me years … but I don’t just spend, it’s either a gift or money I’ve been saving for years and most often I get a good deal. (Shoes and bags are the little joys of my life, I never ever spend on clothes)

Nice bag or an espresso maker. Or change the color of my car but that probably needs more than 300.

But designer shoes are $300? Idk I buy Sam Edelman, birdies, Adidas, new balance, etc. All from Nordstrom or frum stores. Are these not considered designer anymore? Which shoes do you buy? Like chanel? Are they really so much more comfortable? I'm curious! I just get bored of things way too quickly to spend 600 on shoes. I like a new pair of shoes every season lol

This is my personal opinion, but I would not consider those designer shoes.. There’s nothing against those like in my mind I would not buy those full price because I don’t see it worth it. For example, I just bought new balances, but I waited for them to be on sale to buy them but I wouldn’t think twice on Gucci or Prada. And for fun trendy shoes I buy from H&M asos Zara etc. I’ll only spend money on Classics that would last me for years and I know I’ll never get sick of. The only designer shoe that I had and sold because they were uncomfortable were Louboutins. Also, I’m fine not getting a new pair every season. I’m no millionaire lol

None of the brands you posted are designer.
Designer shoes: chanel, jimmy choo, Manolo, ferragamo. I don’t own any- not in my budget!

Those are not only designer, they are high end designer couture. To me, all of those brands look super uncomfortable but idk that's me!
