i spend way too much money on books, video games, and pot.

i went to buy chocolate milk($1.69) on my lunch break the other day and ended up also spending $30 on books....at a grocery store!

Storm Rider · « **Reply #54 on:** 07 Mar 2008, 11:41 »

Yeah, the only thing I really spend a lot of money on is video games, and that's not because they're necessarily expensive individually, but I buy so fucking many of them.

tania · « **Reply #55 on:** 07 Mar 2008, 14:27 »

clearly i either buy too much american apparel clothing or not enough! I've already had one sweater and a couple of t-shirts fall apart. another sweater i bought in september is starting to show a lot of loose threads here and there. considering both sweaters were ~$80 i am kind of disappointed. i should probably learn from this but no, their clothing is so pretty. i always go back. i suck.

i have never had any problems with american apparel underwear and will justify my many expensive purchases with the (obvious) reminder that briefs are so much sexier than thongs, you crazy women.

Although difficult here at school since there's really no where to go out to eat, at home I spend far too much money on food. I also pay ridiculous amounts for rare vinyl but various artists whose complete vinyl output I really want even though I almost never, if ever, listen to them. I sometimes splurge on Amazon and buy a bunch of books and a handful of Criterion DVDs only to spend the next couple of days crying over the $350 I no longer have.

Probably my hundred dollar graphics card even though my old one was still working just fine, I wanted to be able to turn up the graphics higher for the Orange Box.

Yeah, just a hundred dollars, but I am 16, so I am poor, I only work sporadically, and can only spend half the money I make, I force myself to save most of the rest.

Looking around my flat, I can't see all that much that's silly or decadent. I did buy a pair of $180 Guess sunglasses at the start of Summer which I have only worn once because I wear spectacles, not sunglasses, silly bint. I generally shop at cheap places for my clothes and the most expensive, stupid items I have are my $140 Roxy jeans and my Doc Marten boots which are now 6 years old and need resoling.
The silliest thing I have spent money on are my Doctor Who and Torchwood box sets. $400 of DVDs, but I watch them lots and absolutely adore them, so it isn't really a waste.
What I do waste money on is just random food articles or little gadgets for the house that I don't really need, but I put in my trolley because they are interesting.

Oh um and hairdressers' visits. Once every few weeks. Costing up to $180. Probably should stop doing that.

Oh man. Food food food. I spend an exorbitant amount of money on food just each week.

A few months ago, I splurged and bought a 4,000 dollar Oasys keyboard. The thing is a beast, but it's absolutely amazing. It has everything I could possibly want. I am, now, of course, completely broke and destitute and will wind up living in a cardboard box on the side of I-90. But it'll be a cardboard box with a fucking awesome keyboard.

You know I was once wearing boy shorts and changing clothes and a friend said "nice granny panties" because he didn't know what else to call them. Seriously, ignorance is usually excusable, but that was so fucking offensive I still do not really know what I should've said to this day. I just kind of stared stupidly at him. It was really awkward.

I intend to either buy a new pair of Doc Martens tomorrow or possibly some skate shoes. I don't know, which ever leaps out.

Jesse and I are buying a condo, so we are on a pretty tight budget. But saving every single penny is no fun, so we have $50 a month each to buy anything we want. This month I spent my $50 allowance on a hair curler/straightener, a comb and 3 different hair products! I recently got my hair cut, so it's fun to play with. The month before that was books and before that it was video games. So, not a lot of extravagance around here lately. Last year, though, I bought us a Wii. Jesse asked if I was sure we could afford it and I said we couldn't afford NOT to buy a Wii, for the sake of my sanity. Also for my sanity, Jesse bought me a DS lite for Christmas. These things are important, you know. (NintendoIloveyoupleasetakeallmymoney.)

I think my biggest, most obvious "splurge" of the past year is probably these:

>$300 Fluevog boots.

More recent splurges include fancy Belgian beer, a conch piercing, good food, as well as plane tickets & a stay at The Frenchmen (http://www.frenchmenhotel.com/).

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I personally find it really annoying to have way too much fabric on my hips and not nearly enough on my actual ass, which seems to be how those things are cut, and they do tend to look stupid on women who have something more than the Boy Ass to match their Boy Shorts. I know it's a little boring (I prefer to call it "classic"), but I'm a string bikini girl all the way.

jodizzle · « **Reply #66 on:** 07 Mar 2008, 22:56 »

I tend to occasionally splurge out a bit on clothes. Occasional fancy items of clothing. useually I am very stingy about everything. I almost didn't pay $40 for a nice jacket.
Last year it was this custom corset for $120:

And the other day after about a year of consideration (literally) I ordered this only in black for $150. Which you will all think is rediculous but which I love:

A week or so ago I spent 100$ in one night on dinner, a movie, a CD, and a DVD.

Dinner was at TGI Fridays.
Movie was Vantage Point.
CD: Opeth's Orchid
DVD: Daft Punk's Interstella 5555
Oh, and two Caramel Apple Empandas from Taco Bell much later.

I enjoyed myself that night, but now I don't have any money.

I assume you must've paid for a date's dinner and movie as well to get you to that $100 total, otherwise you'd have to have bought like $60 worth of TGI Fridays (...eek).

And I'm with Mai with my addiction for shoes. Fortunately (I guess), I have large feet and find it somewhat difficult to find ones I absolutely love that fit right, so I don't spend that often.

Hey guys, I spent £6 on a new hoodie yesterday. And I'm going to my local piercers to get a new hole in my face on Monday for £10 because they're giving experience to trainees that day.

To be fair, I only bought t-shirts and they were like $15 or something. They all look new despite several washes.

You are correct though, boy shorts are the best underwear for women by some distance.

Man, you got hosed. I can't say I ever spend more than $10 on a T-Shirt anymore.

Also, I guess I'm the only one, but I really do not like boy shorts at all.

Ladybug · « **Reply #77 on:** 08 Mar 2008, 11:27 »

Man, I don't think I've paid less than $19 for a t-shirt in years, except QC-shirts and a t-shirt from T-Shirt Hell (but I had to pay shipping, so it's still more in total), so for me, AA is cheap, even the EU-store.

I think the item I spend more money than I would need on is food, but I'm a student, so that also limits itself, sort of naturally.. If I had more money, though, my spending habits would probably be baaad.. I'd get better sheets, a better duvet, more expensive clothing (at least if I could manage to lose some weight) etc..

Okay so I am considering spending $300 US on a ZVex effects pedal (possibly another $300 on a second one as well) and then spend god knows how much on a cello (because cellos are awesome). Back in December I spent $1000 bucks on a Warwick bass.

So I, like Patrick, spend to much money on music.

Patrick · « **Reply #79 on:** 08 Mar 2008, 11:48 »

Which reminds me, I should really consider getting a bass and some drumzzz so I can one-man-band my recordings.

The recordings I can't make unless I spend that money on a new computer. Damn it. I hate being poor!

$600 boots; we're not prepared to be quite that decadent, so we're planning to go to another ski shop where hopefully we can find gear more reasonably priced.

My mom just bought me 400 dollar boots on sale, and new skis too...
But I will use them 'till I die, so I don't know if that counts.

I spend way too much money on shoes, jeans, and gum.

According to the clerks in ski shops you should buy new gear every couple of seasons, but that's hardly surprising.

The last expensive thing I bought was my guitar. The next expensive thing I will buy is Smash Bros. (okay fine "expensive") and hopefully a nice big amplifier. Or maybe some fancy pedal thingies. Or! A recorder! Or maybe just a stupid new computer in general.

I'm currently on the lookout for new boots, though. I wore my favourite pair so much the soles split in two. I'm also thinking about getting a pair of bitchin' PVC pants.
