But, I’ve come to terms with the realization that indulging yourself every now and then is a perfectly healthy and accept- able behavior. I had been eyeing a particular red saffiano leather handbag for weeks before I was alerted that last week’s 25-percent-off sale would lower the price to $250. This put me into a state of internal turmoil — the price was still high but no longer out of the question. I struggled with the knowledge that $250 is more than a week’s worth of my paycheck, two-point-five times the amount I paid for my iPhone and well over the price of a round-trip plane ticket home. Ignoring my already large collection of purses, I racked my brain for an occasion in recent ast week, President Obama visited California to discuss the it’s not a political issue at all.
