I feel lucky that DH didn't bat an eye when I told him that I was going to buy a Ruby Pro and that it cost $$$$. He just said, "It's your money; you earned it." But the way I look at it is this...I'm not into clothes, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. I like getting massages but usually don't spend the money 'cause I feel like it's a waste just to pamper myself. I'm not a club/party person but we do enjoy eating out. I/we don't spend a whole lot on entertainment. If I figured up what I would have spent on cigarettes (I quite in 1996) at today's prices it would be well over $2000 a year. So, I figure we all have vices - mine are just a little different than most of the women I know. And probably a bit more healthy.
