What do you spend most of your extra cash on?

**EndersShadow** · 07-04-2006

The key is "extra cash". Obviously a car can be very expensive when you're getting new tires and a new battery or paying car insurance. But "extras" would include things like a new muffler, intake, tinted windows, etc.

Basically, the question is where does most of your money go that a good majority could consider a waste?

mine is food. i dont have a lot of wants and i dont have a lot to eat around the house so i say i spend around 95% of my money on food

**killzone_71** · 07-04-2006

Damn! i was just gonna say the same thing.

Im a food junkie. Food, food and only food matters to me...... second only to video games.

**EndersShadow** · 07-04-2006

Is there a way to edit the poll and add in food?

Btw, I myself picked exercising. While it's not my biggest hobby, it's currently the most expensive one. Extra plates every few months and protein powder every other month add up. In a year or so, I'll be spending big bucks on a new TV, PS3, Xbox 360, a few games for each, and a sofa. That's around 3,000 in about 3 months span... I don't spend often, but when I do, I do...

**Poklyps** · 07-04-2006

For me, I can't really spend anything because of my PS3 Savings, but every now and then, I manage to get some money for spending, and it usually goes to me and my friends on outings.

**Capo Digi** · 07-04-2006

Beer and tobacco I guess. With all my bills there's not a lot left for anything else but the finest things in life.

Most of my money goes on rent and car insurance, chuck in petrol, food, gas, electricity,
council tax, broadband and charitable donations

and there's only beer and baccy money left to cheer me up.

Can't wait to have kids.

**Fallout Boy** · 07-04-2006

I spend most of my cash hanging out with my g/f doing stuff. Im saving for a whole heap of stuff so most of my cash is going into savings atm.

**Trinity** · 07-04-2006

When I get my real job (in 3 years), I'm going to start saving up for my future kids. $50 - $100 a month to go to savings for them. I already have faith that these currently non-existing kids won't get a scholarship for college.

btw, your depiction of where money goes in the grown up world? What's that phrase... "I don't wanna grow up cuz I'm a Toys R Us kid"?

**Trinity** · 07-04-2006

I still remember when my mom used to buy me toys at Toys R us...Saturday Morning Ninja Turtles FTW!

**Mael Duin** · 07-04-2006

Sadly, food. Me and my girlfriend would love to buy mangas, games and save for her laptop but always when we got to store, there comes something what we don't need, like two big pizzas. >_>

Starve dude. I went 1 week with just 18 dollars to spend on food...

Or beg and cry for extra hours at work. It works

**I write Cursive** · 07-04-2006

Wow. Anything I want. I think it mostly goes to making myself look good.

mmm.. and then food because In n out is basically the only fast food I'll really eat. And I like eating at restaurants and grocery shopping at Trader Joes and other such hippy like markets.

CDS... and then art stuff.

But I'm a girl and the youngest. So I get money from 3 sources. Work. My mother. My brothers.

**gringo** · 07-04-2006

J and J baby.
My buddies and I jrink and get jrunk.
Beer, rum anything available.
We have recently started jrinking long island iced teas.
We call it the L1, for the Devil Trigger from DMC.

I usually spend all my extra cash on food (eating out), DVD's, games, and the occasional movie. Then every so often I actually splurge and buy myself a new clothing item. Not to mention also having to pay my rent, phone, internet, satellite, etc. I wish I always had more money for games.

**Mikleran** · 07-04-2006

Video Games.

BTW What the hell is a muffler? I'm guessing its an American term for car-related something?

**Trinity** · 07-04-2006

A muffler is this...

The exhaustion pipe

**Vercetti** · 07-04-2006

hmm....lemme think. Ps3 forum website.....oh yeah video games.

**Lp Chris XII** · 07-04-2006

Being a goalie, I have to spend upwards of $1,000 for hockey equipment. I'm gwtting some new upper body equipment today (around $650), so that's where my money goes. The rest goes to video games and music.

Here's some rough numbers (CDN Dollars):

Helmet - $500
Chest & Arms - $650
Pads - $1,000 (can cost up to $1600, even more if custom)
Skates - $250 (can cost up to $600)
Glove/Blocker -$400 each

Total expense: $2,750

...Yeah, it's an expensive hobby

I guess it is an expensive hobby!

But it sure is fun, and by far the best sport to play!

British term is simple and to the point: The Exhaust Pipe

**soldier one** · 07-04-2006

Really i dont see how people spend all their money on food. I spend it on cars, games, better house things etc...

**Svetlana** · 07-04-2006

Often, I spend all of my hard earned cash on music cd's, vinyls and other music related paraphernalia. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to the copious amount of cd's that I own - my own little record shop.

The rest goes on eating out, buying new clothes, paying the bills and buying new games.
