Drip is forever – Woman buys 10k handbag instead of couch

If you are in a position to choose between what you need and what will make you happy what would you choose? For me it would be what would make me happy.

For instance, you need to buy yourself a bed but also, going to see your favourite artist perform live would make you happy- yep that I heard that background voice that says you’ll buy the bed the following month.

Well, this was the case for a lady who went on and bought herself a bag worth R10k instead of buying a couch.

Taking to TikTok @mlosta shared a video of herself walking into an empty room holding a white throw which she nicely placed it on the floor.

She then sat on it as she held her new designer handbag tightly to her chest evidently showing no regrets or whatsoever about her decision. 

In her caption she wrote, “A 10k bag made more sense than couches. – Me and my bag against an empty apartment.”

Social media users encouraged her to always prioritise her happiness at all times, even though they still found this hilarious.

Others jokingly referenced LaConco, a reality show star who once questioned spending too much money on a handbag, saying that she would not approve of @mlot-sa_’s decision.

We are always told to go for whatever we want as long we are happy and that is exactly what this lady did. Happiness over Everything.
