I have this co-worker, our receptionist, who, every time I walk past her desk has to tell me about something she bought or a shopping trip she's going on.
Today was no exception, she informed me that she was able to talk her husband into increasing her Black Friday shopping budget by 20%. I asked her if she was going Christmas shopping and she said it was just for whatever she wanted. I can only imagine how much the dollar amount is because the other day she told me about having an extra paycheck to go spend on whatever. She said it was around $1,300!
It's getting a little old....all she does is talk about buying stuff and then taking 150 items out of her closet to go buy new stuff. It goes on and on. I know her husband makes good money, I'm imagining a 6 figure salary and she has mentioned that her paycheck is just money for her to spend.
Sure, I like her, but I'm just tired of it. It almost seems like she's throwing it in my face. But, I don't think she means it. What do I say to her? I am living on half what I used to with the same bills because of the divorce and sure I spend money from time to time...but she talks about it every.single.day!

Heh, start talking about how you're 're-purposing' things in your life (not to save money) and how you make a game of it....I bet she'll try to play this game as well.
