How can anyone justify that?!

In general, I'm somewhat of a fan of the Kardashian's.  I watch "Keeping Up with the Kardashian's" and "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami" regularly, I find their antics to be amusing, and I feel almost a connection with Kourtney because we are both moms under similar circumstances...  but today I almost felt an outrage toward Kim.  I heard on the radio and then read here that Kim Kardashian spent $100,000 in handbags yesterday.  In particular, she spent $30,000 on one bag!  This pisses me off to the nth degree.  The amount of money she spent on one handbag is the amount I purchased my car for, and I think I have a pretty nice car.  There are families all across the country living off of 30K or less!  30K could pay for one year at a nice college or an entire degree at a decent college!

I know Kim works very hard and she earns her money.  But maybe she's just a little overpaid.  Or perhaps I'm just questioning her priorities.  She could be putting all that money to a much better use considering all the people in the world that are starving or dying to preventable diseases.  But most of all, I just wonder if she ever thought to herself for one second, "I know I can afford this handbag, but out of principle I shouldn't buy it because it's too much to spend on a handbag."  I'd like to think I would.  But then again, I only make a little more than what she spent on that handbag in one year.
