buying your own wallet / purse

useful_contacts

Always been told that buying your own purse/wallet is bad luck. That if you do buy your own you will never have any money to fill it with.

Lady stopped me in pennys last week and asked me "if i give you the money will you take this purse up to the counter and buy it" . I did, but TBH last few times i got a friend to do it would never ask a stranger

So do you buy your own wallet / purse?

You should have taken her money. That way she'd realise that not buying your own purse/wallet is bad luck too. Always bought my own wallet and never had a problem.

Yes, bought my own wallet and don't have a problem filling it with my own cash at any stage!
That saying is a load of bunkum that belongs back in the dark ages.

My mam forbade me from ever buying my own purse :pac:

I bought myself one once and I lost it. It had 60 euro and all my cards in it too...
Since then I've been using a gorgeous one my sister gave me with no problems

i didn't buy my wallet. Left it in topman- got it back. Left it in superquinn- got it back. Left it in pubs and restaurants and i've gotten it back. Yes i am forgetful, but i've always lost the wallets i've bought myself!

Never heard of that, but my Mum has another one. I wanted a cross necklace and she refused to buy me one saying it's seen as giving someone an extra cross to carry in life. Weird.

The only bad luck involved is when you are broke.;)

My mother bought my latest purse, but I'd have no qualms about buying myself one if I needed one.

must be a horrible wallet

Got my wallet as a going away present. Managed not to lose it in eight months of travelling round the world, so maybe there's something to it!
Though I doubt it.

I don't know about buying your own wallet or purse, but my ma always said if you buy one for someone else, put money in it before you give it.
Even just a coin, it's supposed to be lucky for the other person or some drivel like that.

The O.P is right you should never buy your own wallet/purse, mine was brought for me 15 years ago and i still have it and ive travelled and lived all over the world, never lost it once and ive been in many tricky and drunk situations. Dont mock something ye dont understand its all 2 easy to do.

Show_me_Safety

@youngpayters
It's actually really really nice, i just dunno what it is about me- i had it for a couple of months and it never happened and since it happened once it now happens all the time!! I'd die if i lost it- i was there when it was bought for me- it was a pretty penny!! Haha maybe that's why i didn't buy it- not superstition!

Could do with a new purse, good enough reason to give to someone to buy me a new one

If some one bought me a wallet Id more then likely bin it, I know what I like I know where to buy it, most of my family don't. so I buy my own wallets.....
