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

Hmmm...how would the conversation lead to your salary though?



Have you ever told your friends, family and/or neighbors?

DH gets paid monthly also direct deposit and paperless. Some months I find out first by checking the deposit on line through our bank, some months he finds out first by checking on line through his company.

I can see where that would make it more difficult to budget.

I'm not going to create a hypothetical play by play of a potential conversation.

Okay, that makes sense. I'm still at the point where I'm starting to figure out that it's worth it to buy the $90 pair of shoes, instead of the $10 ones. Maybe some day I'll notice the difference between the $90 ones and the $900 ones.

I think being someone who sews or knits or otherwise makes clothes makes you more aware of those kinds of things. I'm amazed at how much better my knitting turns out if I use the nicer yarn instead of the cheap stuff.

Yeah, I had an awesome pair that finally wore out last winter. I wore them almost every day. They had a couple inch heel (although it wasn't as spiky), but were super comfortable. I could even walk to and from work in them. Unfortunately, they weren't made from leather and started peeling. I'm hoping to buy a nice leather pair this winter that will last a while.
