If I want to spend 200 dollars on a dress, it's none of your business.
I'm not sure why my friends, family, and random people in a store think it's okay to tell me I shouldn't by something because of the price. If I want it, I freaking want it, and I work damn hard for my money so I should decide what to spend it on. Maybe it's selfish to you but I donate, I volunteer, and I freaking want a two hundred dollar dress from Anthropologie! So what? Since when is my money any of your business?Rating:5.00

You could open up an IRA and in 40 years that $200 could be $10, 000. But, if the dress is more immediately satisfying to a future pile of unworn clothes, I'm sure others should understand.

If you don't want people to criticize your spending habits, don't discuss them with other people in the first place. Then you will have one less stressor in life to freak you out!!

I guess it's all relative because I don't think of $200 and being a lot for a dress these days. If you make enough money what's the difference? and to #2, maybe you should think once in a while. Do you support poor children in Africa and how do you know she doesn't?

I know ill get shot down for this, but I'd support an effort to stop these people in Africa from creating more children they can;t raise in the first place. Mass vasectomies for all men and whatever they call it for women. :p

There's nothing wrong with splurging ONCE in a while, to reward yourself. When it becomes a compulsion, then there's a problem. I do my bit for charities but I also have a comfortable place to live and a decent (not flashy) car. When I feel good, I can do better for others. No sense in being too miserable, that doesn't help the rest of the world.

Yay #5!!
Once again, our society in which everyone has everything they want, finds it necessary to shit on someone who wants something. Hunny, I'm sure those people who were giving you shit went on to drive their expensive, gas guzzling SUVs home to their single-family homes to eat meat for dinner and watch at least 3 hours of TV in a lit room that night. They are no better than you and no worse than you. Next time someone gives you shit about what you want to buy, no matter if it's the Hope diamond and you are buying it to shove up your ass, tell them that as Americans they have already slaughtered the world so until they start living completely material-free you are going to buy the dress you like, thanks!

Since when is it our responsibility to feed starving people? If we got a good education because we planned ahead and have a good paying job, we deserve to buy whatever the hell we want and don't need to apologize to anyone for it.

I dunno.. I sponsor a child through World Vision and it is a shit ton more satisfying receiving letters from this poor girl hearing how excited she is and what I'm doing for her than buying expensive shit. We have extra money that needs to be put elsewhere.
But hey, I'm a guy and I don't know how exciting it may be to get some dress that was probably made by a starving child.

#8, if they were born into your situation im sure they would have a good education (because it's the law in north america) and planned ahead (because we are taught to do that)- i feel like if you were starving in africa you wouldnt be worrying as much about planning your educational future as you would about where you are going to get your clean drinking water from, or how to feed your family day to day. it's what we're born into.

#9: I can't believe you fell for that. Don't you know those organizations all have people writing fake letters so people like you get all sappy and keep sending money? Those kids never see anymore than a very small amount of what you send.
#11: What difference does it make where I was born? If I was unlucky enough to have been born in Africa I'd be living a shitty life with the rest of them but I wasn't born there. My question was why is it my responsibility to support them? We have starving people in this country and I support the Viet Nam Veterans and a few other organizations but I don't feel any obligation whatsoever to feed people in Africa.

#12... What makes you think World Vision is a sap scam? A logical reason would suggest that a company who writes their own letters and pretends it's a child from a poverty stricken family would have been caught by now.

Maybe that was their way of telling you the dress didn't look that good. If it was worth the $200, they probably would have agreed that it was just too good to pass up. They were probably thinking $200 was a lot of money for THAT dress.
