Skydiving Gear: 7K
Watch: 3K
SCUBA Gear:2.5K
TV: 2.5K

Sadly, I'm probably forgetting stuff and not even counting my computer (although I haven't really splurged on it in years)...oh, and that doesn't include the thousands I've spent in training & lift tickets for skydiving. I need less expensive hobbies.

How about buying/installing a bidet?

The last thing I splurged on was a D200 and Tokina wide angle, but other than that I don't spend a lot on extra stuff.

Edit: travel too, one or two trips a year.
