Moving in with a romantic partner is one of the biggest decisions many people make in their adult lives. It’s not just about splitting rent or getting a shared Netflix account—it’s about blending lives in a very real and tangible way.

The self-help industry promises transformation, purpose, and power. From bestselling books to viral YouTube videos, it insists that with enough mindset tweaks and morning routines, you can finally become the best version of yourself.

But the truth is, some of these unspoken rules we all follow can quietly chip away at our well-being.

A sleek leather tote. A quilted crossbody with gold hardware. A logo-heavy handbag that’s instantly recognizable from a mile away. Designer bags have become more than accessories—they’re statements of success, luxury, and even identity. But behind that signature stitching and gleaming clasp is a complex web of costs, and not all of them are printed on the price tag. The Sticker Price is Just the
