It seems that this thread is suffering from a common thread ailment. The OP wants advice and/or suggestions. Instead of this, she is subjected to one or more of the following:
1. Don’t do what you want to do, it’s pas nisht.
2. Your values are too materialistic.
3. Previous generations cared about what Hashem wants, and you don’t.
4. I know exactly what Hashem wants, and I always do exactly that.
5. From a halachic point of view, you are doing an aveirah. Shame on you.
Please, lay off. She asked for advice, not mussar. YOu need to give mussar? Talk to the mirror.
