Giving the money we waste on ourselves to people who are starving to death and/or can't afford college and/or need medical attention, etc = good for the soul.
I don't get $175 for sneakers. I wear designer shoes (Michael Kors, Bobbi Blu, Ettiene Aigner) and carry a designer purse (Kate Spade), but it's because I buy classic styles on S-A-L-E (thank you DSW).

On the topic of spending what you don't have - I have a friend at church that can ususally barely pay her rent, yet every time I see her, she's got Starbucks coffee and pastries. I feel ripped off even buying McD's new coffees because I have a perfectly good espresso maker at home.


PS...go ahead and say it....I'm CHEAP.
