Love watches and sunglasses--have more of both than I need. I have my PHD in shopping--and decorating.:)

Both my husband and I read a lot and love movies, he does most of the investing there and I get to enjoy.

I spend a lot on dog training and grooming equipment. We are getting ready to compete in Agility, Herding, and Obedience--so a lot invested there and having fun too!

I also work with OES Rescue-helping to transport, and support vet bills etc.

Vaping has been far more costly than I anticipated when I started, so I guess at this point it is a hobby too!

Golf consumes way too much of my disposable income....gas in my truck is a close second. Used to spend a ton on music gear, but I'm finally happy with what I got. I also picked up a nice Bulova watch a while back, which is a nice everyday piece. Still looking for the perfect Omega or Rolex, though (and at the right price!). Then there is the chunk of $$ that I spend spoiling my kids, cats and wife. And of course my large collection of....never mind..keeping it work safe :)

We are in the retirement stage so not as much spending as I used to. I was a designer clothes and bags shopper. My angle was going to the high end consignment shops outside of NYC. It is amazing the clothes people buy and never wear. Of course, our dear Kitty cat. I have always been a reader so the book collection needs to get scaled back. I love cookbooks. Especially the old ones. I have quite a few gardening books and garden design books that I need to part with.

We had a pipe burst upstairs in January so now I am in the middle of a repair/remodel of the kitchen, living room and hardwood flooring that was not planned for. Looks like we are going to be our own general contractor so this is the 'hobby' for the next several months.

Outside of vaping, the majority of my money goes into my truck and the '03 Cobra I'm looking at right now. Other than that it's just bills, bills and more bills.

A work friend of mine just sold an 03 Terminator.
Dear God that thing was mean.
600+WHP...it would literally try and kill you if you floored it below 60.
Such an awesome car...and that blower sound...damn...

Motorcycles. We need a bigger garage. Dirt bikes, street bikes, road race bikes, scooters, anything with two wheels and a motor. I think we currently have 14 functional motorcycles with a few more restoration projects and vintage non-runners tucked back in the dark recesses of the garage.

Guitars/basses/drums/recording gear. If you think Provaris are expensive, price some Neumann or Telefunken microphones...

Do you make your own fishing poles? I wanted pink wrapping on mine so I had to make them myself. I'm in the process of stripping some right now so I can redo them in purple.

Fishing gear and my little guy.... He's got his hands in my pockets more than I do...... :blink:

airguns
golf

thats were most of my cash goes.

I have been getting in to airguns in the last 2 years myself when ammo prices got insane. I have a 3 month old Airarms TX200 in wallnut with a Vortek spring and guide kit and a Bushnell Elite 4200 8-32 scope that I have only fired about 100 pellets thure since the weather was soo damn cold this winter. I also have a few PCP guns I like to tinker with. Thats part of why I enjoy vaping so much its the tinkering bit. I;m down to 6mg nic Juices and I will be placing an order for 0 nic juices soon. I have no plans to quit vaping just want to get off the nic now that I'm done with smoking all together.

Books. I basically need to be on a leash when I'm in a bookstore, or even a store that just happens to sell books. I have 5 bookcases, with a total of 3 shelves (out of I think 25) that have movies and other things, the rest are stuffed with books. I just had to put a bunch in those plastic file crate things to free up more space for my most recent book buying binge, and I still have some in a big box out in a storage building in the backyard :blink: Oh and I have a Kindle with something like 1,200 books on it (some I also have in print), and several books that I have multiple copies of...

I need a support group (meaning a group to support my habit :p )

I'm also obsessed with office supplies, particularly pens and notebooks (because I still have dreams of someday actually finishing something I write). I have a lot of movies, too, but I mostly get those super cheap because I love old school horror and find good deals on them in sets. Oh and yarn, for knitting and crochet, and art crap. I don't paint or draw as much as I used to, but I'm trying to make more time for that.

You people scare me but you ain't got nuttin' over on my sister. If there is (was) a wall in her house it has a book case on it or in front of it. Add a "0" onto the end of your 1,200 Kindle books and that's a good guesstimate as to how many actual books are in that house. Makes me positively claustrophobic because of how it literally shrinks the physical size of each room. I like reading and all that but this needs an intervention.

I won't even mention the closet dedicated to office supplies. Oops - too late.

'72 Stingray. 383- 450 ft/lbs. TKO-600. FAST multiport EFI. And LOTS of other mods. Oh, and the girl gets lots of money too! BTW, this was her fourth birthday and I plan on taking the same picture every year until she moves out!


I. Want. That. Car.

Old stingrays are some of me favorite cars. I just spend all of my money of drums. I have enough invested that I could by a brand new car. :(
