This theme was touched upon in another thread and I wanted to discuss it further.

Yeah, basically same thing.

I don't think spreading out the cost per use/wearing of a piece of clothing, bag, whatever really, is the same as depreciation. It could be that a piece of vintage clothing, or a vintage bag, would actually appreciate over the years.

You cannot also gauge its true cost my simply dividing the cost by the number of years you have owned the items. For instance, if I pay a hundred dollars for a pair of shoes but wear them only once a year for ten years, they cost ten dollars per wearing. If I pay a hundred dollars for a pair of shoes and they only last one year, but I year them a hundred times, they are 1.00 per wearing and therefore "cheaper" than the pair that lasted me ten years.

Not really addressed at savcal here, just general musing.

You're debating something I've never claimed. It's like you're debating a bizarro-me.



Your *suspicions* about what I have dealt with, and what I may or may not have done about it, are

How often do you get a new bag?

I am glad that I have to pay attention more since it is so rare and far and few between.

Even with windows open we don't hear much at night. The windows we keep open, if any, are on the back of the house, which faces the greenbelt, park and pool.

No I don't know how much everyone has paid for their bags but I have a pretty good idea if it is a Target bag or a designer one and the price.

Very true Lauren, even brain surgeons have to look at an MRI, or cat scan or do the surgery before they can confirm that someone has a brain tumor.
