Really, nothing. I'm a paragon of frugality.

As long as they're not skinny jeans. In that case you need to turn in your OT membership card.

I've spent at least $20,000 on bicycles over the years. I currently have four bikes with a total replacement value of around $18-20,000.

Recently just moved into a new 1 BDR apartment, and just got all new furniture for like $6,000. Which isn't bad as I got great deals on really nice stuff.

$2,000-$3,000 more per year on restaurants is my worst offence lately. I have never done that before, but my time is just becoming worth much more to me now. Otherwise nothing too crazy.

Thats like 60 bucks a week on restaurants? I spend like 10k a year at least.

I'm spending about $2k on Christmas lights this year, and I'm not even religious. I just like blinks flashy things to music.

If we could see the central control panel for that setup.

Can't really think of any. The closest is two high end pc monitors at $1000 usd each. A Samsung and an Apple both 27" & 1440 resolution. Not saying they qualify.

Now is the time to buy lights or at least it was when I was more into that hobby. $2,000 is a good chunk of money to spend on lights, but controllers and wire add up pretty quick before you even buy the lights.

I have never bought a new bicycle in my life. I've bought IIRC 3 used road bikes, total for them would come to under $400. Other than one occasion 2 years ago, I've done 100% of my own bike maintenance.

When the first Super VHS recorder came out in 1989 (JVC, who developed the standard), I bought it for $1000, brought it home in the back basket of my bicycle. Its recording of broadcast TV was way superior to VHS, Beta too. I still have it, but it's not particularly working OK, last time I checked. FF/REW is screwed up. I have another SVHS deck that does work, got it way cheaper.

Ouch, I remember renting on e for the weekend and that was painful enough.

I never plan on getting married.

I have never planned on getting married (or having children), nor have I sworn them off. However, I bought a copy of this DVD -- Divorce Corp. Marraige is an institution. Divorce is a big business. I would not consider getting married without a close watch of that film.

Divorce Corp.

Currently? Nothing. Maybe food/booze/coffee, but that's about it. I've been meaning to get into a hobby again. Used to be music/instruments, but that fell off the wagon

Like I said, I'm hell of frugal. Most of my food comes from Costco (bulk items!), and a local produce-centric super market that has a lot of organics (which I'm migrated into the last year, so that ups the food bill).

Booze? Well, I went through 1 bottle of 2 buck chuck from November through January. Yeah, that's my booze bill.

I've done almost no traveling, but plan to start. That will cost. I sent away for my birth certificate a couple of weeks ago, it should come any day. It will enable me to get my first ever passport. I think for my first trip I'm going to Cuba! I was recommended Istanbul, but I think since then (about 1.5 years ago), Istanbul's safety quotient would have been hit pretty hard. There's been news of terrorist activity there recently. That could spill into some weird stuff. I think I'll try Cuba first.
