I suspect I am one of those women have an easy time spending money on others but in some ways a hard time spending money on myself.
Perfume is a good example. I haven't spent serious money on perfume in over 20 years. By serious I mean greater than $5.
I had Tea Rose which was my grandmother's signature fragrance, loved that. Ron used to say I smelled like "old ladies" when I wore it. Then I had Red. I had an unfortunate incident with a bottle of Red aerosol in my backpack. I had the spray bottle in the backpack along with some other things. I was walking and as I walked things shifted around and the cap came off, something depressed the nozzle and I had a quarter ounce of perfume down my back. It was sickening, cloying, and awful. I had to throw away a very nice "airlift" Jansport backpack (this was entirely my fault and not the fault of Designer Imposters or Jansport). I think I threw away the clothes I was wearing. Ron almost vomited several times. So we were both done with it for a while.
After he died I wanted it back. So I got the Designer Imposters version and have about used that up.
I did well enough working some extra time that I could buy a bottle of perfume (it runs about $30). I thought, this thing will last me over a year most likely so I should do it.
I bought it (Fragrance net) but it is being discontinued! AAAGH. I am glad I got it though. When it gets used up I will go to Macy's or something and find a new fragrance.
But I think I have a couple years on that. I guess I am old; it came out when I was a teen and is now being discontinued.
