Books Jewelry and of course.... many many many pairs of SHOES! oooooh! Me too!! I totally relate. I read quite a bit, but I enjoy collecting books. I've even bought books I wasn't sure I wanted to read just because I liked the font and the nice sturdy paper and it is bound well. It's like an art to me. And the first really nice jewelry I bought myself was kinda like your jeep, only on a much smaller scale. And I love fashion! While I occasionally make my own clothes/modify stuff I buy inexpensively, I can't make a shoe for myself cheaply. I LOVE shoes. Wearing a fabulous outfit I created or put together just so is one of my favorite hobbies. It may be silly and superficial for some people but it's a creative outlet for me. See, possessions can bring you some amounts of happiness. It's when you think you CAN'T be happy without them that becomes the issue. |

Yes, i have bought happiness. Materialist happiness is short lived.
There is soo much more happiness that money cant buy: Seeing your children laugh and smile. Loving someone and knowing someone loves you laughter peace freedom family friendship the list goes on and on..... There is one puchase that I made a while back that has kept on giving me happiness and loyalty and that is my dog.  | |

Plane, Play, Movie and Concert tickets Books CD's My Jeep (because it's the first thing that's really MINE, not loaned or bought for me, it's a symbol of accomplishing something by myself, for myself) Jewelry My camera (because it allows me to share what I see and how I see it with those I love) and of course.... many many many pairs of SHOES! Damn it I forgot the most important one!!!! 
MY EDUCATION In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

Experiences are EVERYTHING, bought or not.
Family, friends, holidays, food, drink.... That's what it's all about baby. It aint gonna get any better than that.  When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

Whoever said "u can't buy happiness" has never bought a cat. If it doesn't fit, it's ugly anyway. | |
