UO not fashion related. I would much rather read a physical book I have the Kindle app and I will read on it but I much prefer the book in my hand. I can concentrate on it better Same!

An actually kindle is worlds apart from the kindle app. It’s a totally different experience I am sure. I have dd's old one now since she got the iPad so I guess i should get it out and try it. In my head I think well if I am putting the Kindle in my purse might as well put the book in. I used to feel the same way but my kindle is so slim compared to book and I can load up multiple books. Plus it says open on the table so I can read and eat at the same time

I have the app open now on my computer to start a book and I keep finding other things to do and so I opened up the library app to see if they have a physical copy

I feel like I’m navigating technology all day. I know that’s the world we live in but when I read I want to step away. Read a physical book. Get away from a device.
But that’s my preference.

It’s also annoying AF when someone states their budget and people come in just to “I would never ...” their price range. I kinda did this to you in the fall thread. It wasn’t how I intended it though. I saw sale and reasonable prices and when I looked I was more laughing at myself because it was still so far out of my budget. But as I said then. I’m working with a pretty slim budget. I wasn’t even thinking about this but this is a good example. You said we were buying $300 sweaters and we weren’t. We were literally talking about $70 sweaters with an additional 40% off. I know you didn’t intend it like that but when someone says something like that it kinda sucks because people are sharing what they love and it makes me personally feel like an asshole. I’m kinda like, “I’m 35 years old, why do I need to explain a $40 sweater to anyone?”

I love my Kindle for travel because I can load like 3 books on there for a vacation with no extra weight.
But I love going to Barnes and Noble, starting a book in their cafe and then bringing it home.

I enjoy the laziness of having to not get up or turn over and turn the light off while reading in my bed when I read on my kobo haha.

I’m kinda like, “I’m 35 years old, why do I need to explain a $40 sweater to anyone?” Yeah I feel like because those threads are a catch all of all walks of life I can’t take people’s spending personally. I see both sides because I myself don’t have spending money. But I also know that my real life isn’t represented here so I can’t really begrudge anyone who can spend. It’s life. And I agree with you on there’s no need to explain how anyone spends their money. I spend how I can and want and so does everyone.

I want lasik for the convenience because I hate not being able to see. But my UO is that I think my face looks better with glasses (or maybe I'm more used to it?). I got contacts 2 years ago for the first time and I have only used like 15-20 pairs of dailies in 2 years because I feel like I look weird. It is better for the beach and sunglasses though. My glasses definitely make my face look thinner. I prefer them over contacts, but I would still pay for lasik if it was in the budget. The idea of waking up and just automatically being able to see? Sounds amazing.

I do most of my reading before bed/I’m bed and is why I prefer to read on my phone. I can lay on my side and just swipe through the book. When reading a physical book it never fails that I end up getting hit in the face with said book when I inevitably fall asleep reading.

If I was loaded, I’d buy all the expensive things. Trust me on that. I’d be lying to myself if I said I’d be thrifty if I was filled with spending cash.
I’ll take your most expensive jeans in size 14 mam. Please and thank you! Lol

I love physical books and I love my kindle. One thing about the kindle that I absolutely love is the ability to change font size. #notreadyforreadingglasses

You pointed out a recent example and I’m agreeing with you.

If I was loaded, I would still look for the best deals or look for comparable items for the best price point I could find. I like the thrill of the hunt. info
