Renting handbags

I came across a site where you can rent high price handbags. The thought just blew me away. Who are they trying to impress to rend a $350.00 handbag.

About three years ago there was a banner ad out on the net for a purse rental service. First, you paid something like about $1000 a year just to be a member, then you could rent purses individually, by the month, at about that $350 price you mention.

All I can say is that is not my world.

I wonder what in my world seems so totally decadent to those "below" me. There are some things that probably seem quite practical and flexible to me, but seem insane to someone of far lesser means.

I have a bet with my cousin. If I have a handbag worth more than $100 before I'm 38, she wins and I have to pay her $100.

Personally, if I have a handbag worth more than $100, I'll either 1) sell it or 2) relinquish all of my decision making responsibilities to someone else. What a waste!
