So, what DON'T you spend money on?

OK, most of us have stereo systems that tally in the five-figure range -- more than many peoples' automobiles, inlcuding perhaps our own. ;-)

Last week in an attempt to self-justify recent hobby expenditures, I started drawing up a list of things that more "normal" people would own or spend money on, but which I choose not own. To wit, I am 34 and married and do not have a:

TV
Cable Bill
Blu-ray player
Ipod
Smart phone
PS3/Xbox/Wii
Car payment on my '03 Mazda
Child

.... How 'bout you?

After reading these answers I guess audiophiles are a pretty boring group. No wonder I don't have any audiophile friends.

I like nice clothes and have a car payment, student loans, a mortgage, cable, a new lady, and a stereo without a preamp. I got off track.

Wow, seems kind of depressing what some will give up for the best audio.

There's nothing that has been previously mentioned other than drugs that I don't spend money on...and if it weren't for the smoke, I'd probably spend money on the occasional spliff, too.

But, smoking interferes with cycling.

Really odd thread. Usually, the chest puffing is all about where money *is* spent. Now, the chest puffing is about where the money *isn't* spent.

I guess the moral of the story is the satisfaction of puffing one's chest, regardless of the topic.
