How do you know if you can afford a bag?

Maybe a silly question — but honestly, how do you really know?

I’ve loved handbags for as long as I can remember, but I’ve never owned a luxury one. Lately, I’ve been thinking about getting a YSL Sac de Jour as an everyday bag, either in the Baby or Small size. I’ve worn that style of bag for at least 15 years already — just never in a designer version, usually Zara or something similar.

The thing is, luxury purchases like this are not exactly normal in my world, so spending that much on a bag feels both exciting and slightly surreal to me.

But I keep wondering: can I actually afford it? Would it make sense for me to spend that much on a bag?

I don’t have debt, a mortgage, or kids. I also don’t have huge savings, but technically I could walk into the store and buy it tomorrow.

What do you think? How do you know when you can truly afford a bag you want?

Problem: locked out of account. Assistance from the Microsoft Data Protection Team is required.

A ticket/case has already been opened and an engineer assigned, but unfortunately the communication and overall support quality have been very poor. It has now been 2 weeks without any meaningful progress, which has had a major impact on our business operations.

There have been 2 unsuccessful call attempts. During the second call, while I was providing the requested details, the engineer suddenly ended the call, and there has been no follow-up communication since, even though this happened several days ago.

Would it be worth opening a new ticket while the current one is still unresolved? Perhaps a new case could be assigned to a different engineer. Last summer, we experienced a different issue, and the support representative handling it was very professional and helpful, so we know the experience can be much better than this.

The case has already been opened with the Microsoft Data Protection Team, there is an active case ID, and an engineer has been assigned.

The problem is that for almost two weeks now, communication has essentially been stuck in a loop of automated or repetitive responses. I send an email, and the engineer replies with the same information that was already sent two weeks ago. Then there are callback attempts, but either there is silence on the other end, the connection quality is too poor to communicate, or the call suddenly disconnects with no follow-up afterwards.

Meanwhile, we are still completely locked out of the tenant due to MFA failure on the only Global Admin account.

Has anyone successfully resolved a sole Global Admin MFA lockout or managed to reach the correct escalation path?
