Things You Like Spending Money On

[theBruiser500]

I love spending money on good food but that is so common. Massages are great. Paying people money to do crazy stuff, i.e. me and a friend just payed someone $100 to take 1/4 a shot of hot sauce called "100% pain". I just touched it to my tongue and it was too hot for me. How about you guys, what do you like spending your money on?

drugs

[PoBoy321]

Cheap booze and loose women.

[Alobar]

Movies. I like to spend my money to have other people do [censored] I dont want to do. Grocery shopping, washing my car, etc.

[fluxrad]

Gadgets and games. PSP, GeForce 6800, Laptop.

Also Starbucks.

[nothumb]

Food a lot, and also going to bars. Random things that I see which make me feel wealthy at the time to be able to buy, but stupid for later. I have poor impulse control.

Chipotle.

at every oppurtinity I get a frappacinno from starbucks

steak dinners at nice restaraunts are good too

[-Skeme-]

Fast Food. 711. That's really all I buy.

[bdk3clash]

Cool t-shirts (http://www.preshrunk.info)

[CCass]

PokerStars $10+1 rebuys with Bugstud on your right pushing all-in on every (and I do mean every) hand.

[theBruiser500]

Guys do not say you like spending money on obvious things, everyone likes spending money on clothes or food, whatever no one cares about that.

[thatpfunk]

books. either going to borders and walking around or used book stores looking for somehting cool.

[-Skeme-]

I honestly don't buy anything else, Danny. I don't buy CDs. I bootleg. I don't buy DVDs, I bootleg. My poker books come from Stars FPP store. Although I did recently buy my mom a new computer desk and us both leather computer chairs. All of my poker profit goes into my bankroll for higher limits.. one day I aspire to be Danny Jr. playing the $25/$50 NL game.

If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.

Travelling to chess tournaments I have no chance of cashing in.

Okay, I need some help here, and I think other people here probably have the same question. What is the most cost effective way to spend money to impress people? Clothes? car? Gym membership? Bar tab? catered party? etc?

[chaas4747]

Penis implants.

[B Dids]

Good alcohol.

Stuff for my home. Kitchen gear and what not.

damn watches-I dunno why I bought it, but since I can resell it for the same price I just bought a stainless "steal" daytona rolex, bah
damn, always stopping by to get smoothies or ordering HOT WINGS....

[chaas4747]

I like to go out, be it to eat, or just drinks. I own two houses so I guess I like to spend money on those. Also the GF is getting more and more expensive by the month.

I just throw that in, I doubt Ill buy a range rover...

But I think Im just going to buy a used 2002-2003 M3 and touch it up with some rims, and maybe some lambo doors, yeah, im gay....lol

[miajag81]

I'm going to have to be lame and say food. I love nice restaurants and good food, and there are a lot in my neighborhood. Other than tuition, that's pretty much all I spend money on.

[swolfe]

real estate
vacations - cruises, hawaii, europe

the coolest thing i've spent money on was getting my eyes fixed. worth every cent of the $2,100 it cost.

i'm a minimalist, but when i "splurge" it's usually on something very expensive like the time i bought the motorcycle or the timeshare.

[peachy]

other people...good friends...etc traveling and on my m3

[The Dude]

DVDs, Books, restaurants.

Me too, although as a poor college student, my definition of splurge is going to be pretty different. Taking the girlfriend out for a $100 dinner is nothing to a lot of you, for me its a splurge. Probably going to get a flat pannel tv this summer, if for no other reason than I don't want to lug my 27" tv back to college in the fall.

[LondonBroil]

My 401K. I'm such a loser.

[Bluffoon]

On my son. He is eight. He likes action figures, violent video games pamela sue anderson posters dvds of shows like family guy and futurama and craftsman tools.

[CanKid]

Range buckets and booze.

Additionally, any money spent on a damn fine woman is worth every penny in my book.

Household goods.

Decent pots and pans, nice set of cutlery, kitchen island, digging around antique stores for some chairs to match my 1940's era dining room table. (It's in decent shape, needs to be refinished)

Yard stuff: flower beds, grass etc, all needs work.

You want plenty of stuff to spend money on, buy a house.

[J.A.Sucker]

Food, wine, watches, guns, and golf. Really, what else is there? Oh yeah, and I'm gonna get a Lotus soon.

Green Fees
Fishing Stuff
Fancy Restaurants
Godiva Chocolates

i'm going to order Settlers (the reviews on here + the board game store guy convinced me) + the expansion pack for 5-6 players & bought Ingenious and played w/ my wife & friends.

it really is more fun group-thing to do than just eating or watching movies.

[J.A.Sucker]

Exactly. I have several reasons for it - it's the least practical, least comfortable car that I can buy. It's fast, handles great, and I can imagine nothing better than screaming down Highway 1 or through wine country with the top off and a cigar in my mouth.

I don't really have anything I spend money on now, but for a while I spent a lot on paintball guns. I had 3 $1500+ setups for a while.

Like this. These 2k3 lcd's are the sexiest guns in history. Ahhh, and with the predator mod. If I still played, I'd have one of these in a heartbeat

http://www.f2f2s.com/images/angel.jpg

Or this A4 with a DM4 grip

http://www.f2f2s.com/images/angel4.jpg

Or even something like this Alias Intimidator. Also hella sexy.

Kitchen gear. Recent purchases include a KitchenAid stand mixer, and a couple of Wusthof knives.

Green fees. Fortunately, it is possible for a decidedly mediocre poker player to generate enough cash flow in low-limit online games to support an unhealthy golf addiction.

[Matt Flynn]

time. money buys time. some obvious like maid, gardener, accountant, office manager and dry cleaner. others not so obvious, like setting the stage for early retirement - or rather early shift to working less and better. also plane tickets to visit family and friends. and good dark chocolate.

in terms of junk, twin Samsung 213T monitors. also a GeForce 6800T, for which i have no use whatsoever. somebody with Far Cry come visit me so i can see what it does.

Clothes and grooming products.
Everyone will see those things and think you have money.
But also, you'll look good, which ain't a bad side effect.

Most people know nice cars often just mean big fat debt, not money.
Gym membership means you care about your health and/or appearance, but you might not have money.
Bar tab is not cost effective. If people think you have money, they'll run up that tab really really fast.
Catered party is just silly. You'd have to have it in a really nice, expensive house with all sorts of cool accoutrements that "prove" you're wealthy (like a bar stocked with high-end liquor and a bookcase filled with 1st editions, maybe a coi pond...). It's not cost or time effective.

But the real question is, why do you want people to think you have cash? You'll prolly just attract the ones who want to take your money.
