The $38,000 hand bag: if you had more money, how would your lifestyle change?

40. I wouldn't blow that kind of money on a purse.

I have two purses. One I got on clearance from kmart for $5. It's super small, convenient sometimes, but awkward if I don't have pockets because it's too small to hold both my wallet and keys.

My other purse is a bit larger, it was a christmas gift and the person who have it to me got it at a thrift shop. That one's big enough to hold a few extra items so I've been using it more often.

I had some others I got as gifts, nothing fancy, but I donated them to a resale fundraiser at school.

But one thing I know - even if my goal was to highlight racism, I would be embarrassed to raise the issue by talking about how I was discriminated against while shopping for $38,000 purses.

I wouldn't even know how to approach that conversation: "I feel discriminated against when people look at me and assume I don't have $38k to fritter away on a purse." Even with the racism, which is a real thing, at some point the first world problemx1000 aspect eclipses the racist aspect.
