It seems that whenever I've compromised, I've regretted it. Our main family computer was on the way out and I couldn't afford to buy the quality brand I normally get. The new computer has caused us nothing but headaches.<br />I too have a wallet example. Every year I would buy the same $15 wallet - a simple coin purse with a side pocket for my licence and two cards. Every year the seam between the coin purse and the pocket would split and I'd replace the wallet. About 5 years ago I begged for a beautiful red, leather version I saw in an upmarket bag store. It was $50, which works out to $10 a year. Without even taking into account inflation (my original wallet is probably closer to $20 now), I'm ahead financially.<br />I also have a beautiful leather handbag from Seattle. It wasn't even expensive, compared to what I would pay in Oz. After six years it's still wonderful.SueBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484316295832915889noreply@blogger.com
