What do you spend your money on?

I like spending on instruments, accessories for my instruments, and sometimes electronics; all of which I have to save up a ton for.
Currently saving up for new camera.
Other than that, I save majority of the money I make.

So what are things you spend your money on? Or maybe things you're saving up for? Things you're planning to buy in the near future?

nowadays I hardly spend money, focussing like 95% on food (veggies, meat, fruits, ...)

Extremely expensive designer clothes that I can not afford, but buy it anyways.

Oh and traveling on trips that I can't afford, but do it anyways.

@BoredAF: a two year span. my mom's house is a prime example. she bought her house for $71k and its now worth $140k and its really the same thing for all the houses around here.

[quote=BoredAF]@AznPride135: Because I'm looking into purchasing property myself. Just because I may live in a different place than him, I'm always interested in housing values. If I could flip a house in a few years and make profit, it matters.[/quote]

Well if that was the case then you should have bought a few houses here in Arizona. Most houses were selling for under 100k and have since doubled but still cheaper than what you can get in California

uhhh... food? sometimes i like to buy random organic/vegan things i see at the store. i bought a beverage for $2.50. that's a lot. but it was tasty. i eat a lot of organic and vegetarian things so my food is kinda expensive. and i don't like cooking!

i don't have anything i like to spend money on frivolously. i need a new mattress set/bed. i need to update from queen to twin since i'm an adult with my own place and a boyfriend lol.

and i just LOVE paying for insurance and maintenance for 2 cars.

i think i have too much money in the bank but i have trouble spending it. but i don't make a lot.

I'm saving up to buy an iPhone, a Macbook, and a telescope. I also want a record player but that's not my priority.

I mostly spend my allowance on food and drinks. I'm not saving up for anything in particular but I will need a new pair of headphones soon once my current ones break.

[quote=WontPostMuch]No joke, I am one of the biggest softie, sentimental guys you will ever meet lol. I like taking care of plants, like building little terrariums for them where you put little decorations in them like a miniature farmhouse, I love looking at furniture and I find animals really adorable and do my best to spoil them. Make their homes as luxurious as I can afford. I also like spending my time reading philosophy books while drinking tea. Hell, going out on my porch and watching sunsets is something I love.

It's kinda funny because my appearance certainly doesn't convey that. I mean, right now I'm wearing a snapback and a Hellhammer T-shirt depicting a lynching but truth be told, I'm fine watching a movie next to my little sister or drawing with her. I do crazy stuff but I'm also a very polite and caring. I'll talk to you about how I want to change the world for the better and everything, even when I'm doing dumb stuff like downing cough syrup lol[/quote]

Groceries, my bike which breaks too often... food when I order out...I think that's basically it. I don't really have a desire for high-tech junk or fancy cars and all that. As long as the things I have are functional, I'm satisfied with them.

A lot of money is spent on my pets. I really like decorating their habitats or giving them cute homes. My biggest project right now is setting up a seahorse tank with other small, passive fish and some corals. It's been really difficult since seahorses require lower lights, so it really restricts the amount of corals I can put. Have to feed the corals throughout the day and so that will get expensive. Along with the different dietary requirements to keep happy, healthy fish. Currently missing a protein skimmer (~$120 for a decent one, and a second powerhead that's seahorse proof, as their tails can get stuck on bigger powerheads and they die).

Aside from that, feeding my Chinese Water Dragon is very expensive, as he's young so he eats ~6 crickets or mealworms every day. And my parakeets and cockatiel require a change in toys to cure boredom and I train them with treats, so some of my income goes into making sure they're entertained.

Pets aside, a huge amount of my spending goes into art, fancy watches or clothes. I spent $500 on shoes once, and close to 1k on H&M. Sadly all those clothes and shoes got ruined, but the point still stands that I have expensive tastes. Just had a painting I commissioned and payed $700 come in. Looks great on my bedroom wall. Also spend a decent amount renovating and redecorating my house (yes I own my own house!) but with the help of my mom.

Finally, I am a huge drinker. Left to my own device, I drink all day every day. So a lot of my money goes into Sake and other "soft" liquors I can drink throughout the day and function and whiskey or tequila for the night. Also love drugs. Spent a lot on cough syrup since it's my favorite drug.

I'm always spending it on hardware if I have to, I'd prefer to stay up to date.
Right now I'm going to buy my new pc hardware this week which will make me 1500 euro lighter.

Besides that, I'm just saving up and money will be spend on whatever I want to do.
Go to a concert, visit a theme park etc, I don't have to worry because I'm always able to spend it really.
