It depends on whose standards you compare me against. If you are comparing me to my mother-in-law I am high maintenance. She wears sweats to work. I wear business/business casual. I own more than one skirt and one pair of heels. Comes with the territory of having a job in business. She is a caretaker at a home with mentally disabled.

If you compare me to my mom, I am a low maintenance kind of chick. She used to accompany me on business trips. One trip, she forgot her cosmetics, so we had to go 2 hours to her house to get it before we started our 6-hr drive. If I go to her house to stay the night I might bring a toothbrush of my own and borrow her clothes since we are the same size, but she brings 2-3 bags to my home and she already keeps quite a bit of beauty supplies here. I love her to death though!

I USED to get my nails done, USED to get pedis, USED to buy clothes, jewelry, etc. I ditched all that when I became a homeowner. Don't ask me why, other than I just realized that I don't need all that. Maturity I guess. At 27, my financial habits are completely different than how I was at 23 years old!

PS - My wedding is one week and two days away!!! I will for sure be high maintenance that day!
