What do you blow your money on?

Donegal Lass · 20-02-2008 09:55AM #1

Well ladies,

That is the burning question! What do you spend the majority of your hard earned wages on? It pains me to say but I could spend an eternity in a chemist... not necessarily with make-up but EVERYTHING from shampoo to those silly little samples that some places actuallly charge for! :rolleyes:

Bt my big expenditure has to be shoes. If my crappy salary allowed it, I would buy a new pair of shoes every day, no problem!

Some of you may think im a tad crazy but as I told my boyfriend recently " at least when I pick up a pair of size 5's, they fit"

unlike the masses of different size 10, 12, 14 and 16's and so on out there!! :rolleyes:

So whats your big spending passion??

Clothes

Spend most of my money of drinking, parties, hair styles, piercings... ya know.. that sort of business.
I have an addiction to shoes too though. And different outfits because i "HAVE NUTTTIN TA WEAR SO I DON'T!!!!"

But yeah. Most of it does be drank.

Crumble Froo · 20-02-2008 10:33AM

ok, well, nothing from the poll. saving up for some new ink and piercings at the moment, but they wont happen for about a year. otherwise, alcohol, though i've been calming down on that oen a lot lately, but my big vice is cds.

cds are fairly expensive around here, but when they go for discount, which the local big cd shop has a fairly extensive section for, they're really very cheap. then there's the second hand cds which are cheap as, as well as the fact my mate works there and gives me discounts on everything i buy.

watna · 20-02-2008 10:43AM

I'd spend my money on eating out/drinking probably and travel. We go away a lot.

I've been saving for a while so I've cut down my expenditure. Not as much as i should but it's a start!

Crumble Froo · 20-02-2008 10:43AM

you've been saying that last bit for months ! :P

I know. Then I bought a new laptop and put a huge dent in my savings! Going home to live with the mammy and daddy soon. That'll save me a bit. My dad tried to get me to pay rent for the 6 weeks I'm at home, I laughed!

Crumble Froo, please tell me NZ is cheap!

20-02-2008 10:59AM

20-02-2008 11:01AM

Specialty java drinks! How about a tall ice blended mocha coffee? With or without whipped cream? Huh?

Silverfish · 20-02-2008 11:05AM

Games
Tech
(I buy a lot of pointless unnecessary things, I bought a Nokia n770 for t'internet, though I already had a laptop and a pc, then I got an iphone, rendering the n770 useless, then I bought a macbook pro, now I'm looking at the macbook air. Also the proud owner of two SE k800i's)

Um.. and chinese food

ztoical · 20-02-2008 11:07AM

none of the above - money gets spent on comics, books, and dvds.

Cathmandooo · 20-02-2008 11:10AM

wheres the alcohol option?

most of my money goes on booze and eating out.

Weidii · 20-02-2008 11:24AM

I'm a student so really most of it goes towards living. What doesn't go towards that goes towards nights out/in.

Lux23 · 20-02-2008 11:52AM

Clothes and shoes.
Eating out and drinking 12 euro cocktails in silly overpriced bars.
Taxis are another thing I waste money on.

aye · 20-02-2008 12:16PM

hmmmm, i'd have to say clothes, food and petrol.
i don't drink but even so going out is still expensive.

Lockstep · 20-02-2008 12:27PM

Make-Up

Food.
Going to shows.

THats where all my money sees to be going lately.

Although I've saved loads since giving up alcohol.

Jules · 20-02-2008 12:36PM

Just changed the poll a bit to added a few more options, hope thats ok DL.

I spend my money on a mix of things, dvd, computer things, from time to time makeup and underwears, im thinking about getting another tattoo too!

piscean · 20-02-2008 12:48PM

Just bought a house so mainly buying house stuff, have an obsession with duvet covers at moment!
Spend a fair bit on getting hair done too.

rainbow kirby · 20-02-2008 12:51PM

Games and gadgets mostly.

MIN2511 · 20-02-2008 12:59PM

How come the poll doesn't have handbags?

Thats where all my money goes to

BanzaiBk · 20-02-2008 01:03PM

Handbags, games/techie stuff and going to see/going away with my boyfriend mainly. Sometimes I think it's a waste and othertimes I'm in a fierce carpe diem mood so it doesn't bother me:p

I'm still looking for the "degenerit gambler" option.

My poker game stinks this month. Ah well, swings and roundabouts. Next time, always next time

Try "Other" perhaps.

Otherwise we'd need a games'n'gadgetry option too since that seems to be a few posters personal vice (I'm also one).

jellie · 20-02-2008 01:58PM

my money seems to just disappear when i wanna see my bf. he lives on the other side of the country, so its train/plane (saving for a car, or trying to). then when im with him money goes on food, always go out for dinner or get takeaways, too lazy when were together. or else going to the cinema, getting a dvd, etc, its all money! & hes a poor student at the moment so i usually end up paying if hes coming to visit me or at least giving him something towards it.

other than that: dinner with friends, drinking (not too much lately though), go a bit mad shopping sometimes, work stuff (commuting & lunches, must start cutting down on buying lunch), attempting to save for a car but gotta pay for driving lessons too..

im actually surprised i have any money at all.

mollybird · 20-02-2008 04:57PM

well girls im a poor student so i just blow my money on petrol for my car, food and money to see my boyfriend.
