I am wrestling with this and am trying to figure out how much to allocate towards jewelry. I have a good job and my bills are paid. I owe a significant amount in student loans but am paying them down aggressively. My car is paid off entirely and even my accountant boyfriend approves of my retirement contributions. I have a six month emergency fund. I receive small quarterly bonuses and I used the last one for a 0.62 carat diamond and halo pendant setting. The cost was not enormous by any means, but when I left the jeweler after paying for the setting I felt guilty for the next day or so until I finally convinced myself that I had earned it. Going forward I would like to avoid feeling guilty, so I'm looking for input from other shiny- sparkly-loving people as to how you determine what goes into your bling fund.
Thanks!
Thanks!
