That guitar is gorgeous. Coming from a fellow music-obsessive, I understand your plight.DustyDrB said:

Wait until you decide to eat healthy/supplement. If you threw all your money into a big pile and set it on fire it wouldn't disappear any faster. =\SycoMantis91 said:
I actually have been trying to diet lately. It's insulting how much more expensive being healthy has to be.BloatedGuppy said:
Music I tend to buy at least four new albums a month. Its weird I worked out I spend more on music than video games in a year which surprises me as I'd assume it would have been the other way around.
My money is pretty evenly distributed between girlfriend maintenance and upkeep, drinking at bars I can't afford, buying Steam games I don't need and guitar parts for my odd projects. When I manage to find a real job I'll be sure to add cocaine and hookers to the list.
i know what you mean.SckizoBoy said:Books...
I unashamedly buy books at full price. At home we (my old man and I) have a room specifically for our truckload of books, we could open a damned bookstore/library of our own and retire, in all likelihood. So much so the piano's rather buried...'
Conversely, my sister's a total cheapskate and has virtually every free book going on her kindle...
i buy certain things on my kindle. the kind of stuff i wouldn't want on a study bookshelf.
however, i have about 40-50 physical books in a few stacks at my dad's place. mostly russian and soviet history and economics that i use for research.
i buy hard copies of educational and research stuff, and digitals of my Jeff Lindsay and my George Martin.
I'd say books, but a close second is simply cheap stuff!
I keep an eye on a 'deals' site in the UK, and I'm often treating myself to bits n pieces I normally wouldn't buy.
Finally moved into the 21st century when I got a refurbished android phone for £20 Finally replaced the old call n text Nokia.
Also organising my flat with a set of 20 box files I bought for about £11, kinda funny to see the UPS man hefting 4 big boxes up the stairs, knowing how little I paid, I can't see how they profit
As for books, finally updated my Stephen King collection, 26 nice, shiny new hardbacks for the same in pounds, again, kinda felt bad for the courier, dragging them up 3 flights of stairs to me!
Now got a lovely orderly bookcase that just goes KingKingKingKing... for a shelf and a half
Oh and having interest in 'The Hunger Games' movie trailer, I looked around for the book, but couldn't find it new for less than seven quid, then found somewhere selling the paperback trilogy for a fiver! Bargain.

Clothes and cosplay. For the upcoming convention I've only spent £40 on my costume though, so that's not too bad!
Ahh, sarcasm...

Generally, when given the money, sharp objects of metal for removing life from my enemies. A.k.a. my sword and knife collection. More often, books and games, since those are cheaper.
Video Games easily. I don't read much because I r b stupid. Music is good, but there isn't anything I don't have I care for or want. I used to spend a lot on manga, but then they came out with a lot of series I like at once and raised the price, so I don't anymore. I also don't spend much movies anymore because I know I'll never watch them after the 20th time.
Your avatar is too cute. Stop it right now.Necroid_Neko said:
save your brass and reload them. thats what my dad does, and what i used to do before i moved into campus housing (they don't look kindly on me keeping a security six in my lockbox). leads are pretty cheap, even cheaper if you just buy a solid lead ingot.Jedoro said:
Music. I buy at least a CD a week. This week I bought four (Machine Head, Bruce Springsteen and Lamb Of God x2).
Second to that would be comic books, which I currently spend £30 a month on.
I'm really okay with all of this but my girlfriend really isn't.
