So my 28th birthday is coming up in July and I've almost worked at my job for a year now. My original intention was to purchase myself something sparkly and lovely after a year or so of working at the job. A kind of a "pat on the back" for now being successful in my career. I currently have few bills to pay and I save most of the money I make. Probably 99% of it (The other 1% I spend on clothes
)
Anyway, so tomorrow I'm going to look at a couple of diamond/platinum bracelets and am considering purchasing one. My mom thinks I should go for it (perfect timing, I wanted to do this, I have the money for it) and my boyfriend thinks I should wait until times are "better" with the economy. Yes, I could always end up losing my job as anyone can...but I can afford a bracelet now and I've never even made such a big purchase (what I think is a big purchase anyway) as this for myself. Shouldn't I at 28? And on the other hand, I don't know that things could ever get better. For all I know, things could get worse and then I'll never be able to afford something like this. You know?
So what do you all think? Should I go for it and buy myself something nice for the birthday and to celebrate my career as I originally wanted to? Or should I hold off yet? I've been toiling over this all week now because I know I'm going to look tomorrow...
