I think I spend way too much on lunch and dinners. It's tough stockpiling food though when you have roommates that are wino's, though.

Dining out. While I enjoy cooking, I hate the shopping and the cleaning up, so we dine out alot

I like coffee and I hate Starbucks for being on every street corner cause now I go "hrmm.. I could go for a cof- starbucks!". It isn't starbucks specific too (their black coffee tastes a little burned) - I would go to coffee bean, a donut shop, anywhere else that servers coffee. I try to avoid mcdonalds cause I end up getting food too :(

I'm into DIY style stuff and work with my buddy, so all our projects really start to add up.

Or, it's just fun to use toys as well sometimes.

Oh, and if we decide to pay for dinner for one of our "friends" or something that's included in there as well.

I use MS Money to tack expenses and I lump all that shit into a category called "Waste". It's pretty sad that "Waste" is my second biggest slice in the pie chart. :(

Expensive microbrews and the bars that carry them, especially The Trappist and Toronado.

debauchery, concerts, food.


Can it get anymore expensive? At least I don't play around with cars or hifi anymore.

Nothing really apart from food. I like to eat food and decent food, not sh!t food.

So apart from that not much. I've spent some decent £££ on stuff that is considered a luxory but they don't usually keep on reoccuring.

My hobby as of late has been doing home improvements. I've probably dropped close to $30,000 in various fixes and updates in the last three years.

Next up is replacing a deck and repainting the house. Amazon just shipped my new air sprayer this morning actually.
