The point, Cathy, is that at least he can actually USE what he bought immediately. You’ve had those shoes for three years now and haven’t worn them once since you tried them on in the store because you haven’t yet found the perfect skirt to wear them with (and which you’ll have to spend more money on before deciding that you now also need to buy the perfect blouse, belt, and purse to go with the shoes and the skirt, by which time all of them will have gone out of style). Now tell me again which is the bigger waste of money?
