How we delude ourselves.
I heard a fashionista on Woman’s Hour this week proudly declaring that she ‘invests’ in a designer handbag each season.
It’s depressing to think there are intelligent women out there who really believe that when they are pensioned off as batty old ladies they’ll be saying to themselves (or to the cat), ‘Well, Tiddles, isn’t it lucky I have my stash of old handbags to fall back on?’.
Just to be safe, in case the bottom drops out of the handbag market or there’s a world clutch-bag crash, maybe alternate each season with an ISA?
