No drug habit to satisfy. Save lots of money not drinking expensive wine, or smoking expensive cigars. No kids. No mistress. No pets right now. No gardener, (I do my own yard). No expensive sports car to maintain. No private plane. No boat. No social club dues. Don't have to buy clothes for work, (I'm a UPS driver and uniforms are provided). Don't gamble. Don't eat out very much. Not into jewelery. Don't CHASE AFTER all the latest, newest, hottest technology, (not an early adopter). Keep all my gear in tip top condition- clean, dust free, smoke free environment and get many years of use out of my shit...unlike most of my audiophile buddies who buy and sell off their audio gear like it's toilet paper. I got $200,000 invested in my audio system and it totally kicks ass. I buy used c.d.'s online and used vinyl too. That's where my money goes and I have NO REGRETS. My life is filled with great music all the time and I'm happy as can be!! Oh, and I got a hot looking wife to boot.
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?
