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?

One of my current favorite free hobbies is surfing the web for great large pictures of art, i can save to my laptop. I currently have over 5,000 good resolution (1000 by 700 minimum) great art, fish, coral reef, and sundry pics I find interesting (Nudibranchs.. never knew about them before.. wow.)
I just let the screensaver flip through randomly every 10 seconds.
I go backa delete the less interesting, so the collection quality is going up all the time. Finding a specific site with great pics is a joy.
My one guilty pleasure of this is keeping pics of dolls. i find fashion dolls to be very interesting, and the clothing is really fine from some hobby makers. I have 700 pics alone of dolls all super cool with repainted faces that look totally real, so much so that for many, only that one can see the joints allows one to know it's a doll.
Anyway, hobbies that do NOT cost money are a cool way to save. Also ones that have a small initial investment, and endless rewards (running, bicycling etc) are cool too.

For the guy worried that this is another pissing contest. i think it reflects more on his attitude than everyone else pissing away... LOL (and my pissing is not gonna win ANY contest anyway!! I COULD cheat and load up a squirt gun though...)
...and if it weren't for the smoke, I'd probably spend money on the occasional spliff, too.

Tvad, ...probably still not great for the cycling though.

Elizabeth,...uh, too much information. Careful where you point that thing.
Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, rock concerts, resorts, and the latest silly gadgets advertised on TV.
