You sound just like me. I do nothing besides work and watch my grandkids and quilt, emb so I have the Viking Diamond Deluxe and once I got it paid off I got the Ovation Serger by Brother. No finance charges and classes. I gave my daughter my Kenmore/Janome machine that I used to take to class so when my Serger is paid off I'll get me a lightweight to take to classes. Doesn't sound crazy to me at all. You have to enjoy life and some of us just do it in a different way. When my daughter said something to me I told her the same thing when her father used to complain if I bought anything. I don't drink or smoke (they both do) so at least what I spend my money on is not only healthy for me, not damaging my lungs or liver but it'll be here way after all thier booze and cigs are gone. I have something that I can enjoy and it doesn't disappear because it was consummed.
