Title: What non-essentials do you spend on other than games?
Post by: seether on June 14, 2018, 07:45:53 am
After bills, travel and basic groceries- what do you like to spend money on?

My luxuries are...

Lavish food (takeaway, steaks, etc.)
Guitars
iTunes music for my commute to work
Beer
Movie tickets e.g. Deadpool 2 for both myself and friend
Ice lollies
Various soft drinks

Hmm... I'm not too diverse. My fiance and I have the same hobbies mostly so our purchases look something like this list.

Soft drinks
candy
TRPG books, minis, etc.
Board Games/Card games
Anime/Manga&merch

Besides video games it's movies and comics, mostly.

*Pre-Disney Star Wars comics, books, and action figures
*DVDs and movies
*Manga (I actually have a Manga collection of about 1500. It used to be almost double that, but downsized a lot)
*Starbucks (I go there almost every day)
*Pokemon cards (I only collect cards up to Neo Destiny and Legendary Collection or up to around 2003. I actually haven't indulged this hobby in a few years though)

You can't seperate a man from his coffee.

Coffee to a allot of people might be one of the most important things in life.

Not for me though I don't drink coffee but many people around me can't seem to survive without this dark substance.

I can imagine that the Coffee business must be very profitable especially since it has the same addicting properties as drugs but a bit lighter ::)

I collect coins. Sometimes I get accessories for my obtisu dolls. Otherwise, it's mostly events- movies, museums, and such.

I'm not addicted to caffeine, it's just something I enjoy doing for myself most days. I've quit coffee and Starbucks for long periods of time in the past without having headaches or cravings for it later. I just really enjoy their drinks, coffee based or otherwise.

Dude, I’ve got kids. There are no luxuries for daddy.
Amen.

Collecting Transformers is my main hobby, and I barely have enough for that, with twin 5-year-olds, a mortgage and bills. I actually haven’t bought a new game for over a year due to lack of funds. I haven’t gotten a current-gen console for the same reason.
But, the boys are most important. If I had to sell my entire game collection to provide for them, I would.

It's a good thing to provide for your children before yourself, :)
