So, what DON'T you spend money on?


OK, most of us have stereo systems that tally in the five-figure range -- more than many peoples' automobiles, inlcuding perhaps our own. ;-)

Last week in an attempt to self-justify recent hobby expenditures, I started drawing up a list of things that more "normal" people would own or spend money on, but which I choose not own. To wit, I am 34 and married and do not have a:

TV
Cable Bill
Blu-ray player
Ipod
Smart phone
PS3/Xbox/Wii
Car payment on my '03 Mazda
Child

.... How 'bout you?

34, married, 3 month old daughter.

Other than the new Rega DAC I bought in January, I stopped spending money on audio gear about 2 years ago. And my system is nothing like what seems like the majority of what people have here. It's far more than 'good enough' for me though - Bryston B60, Audio Physic Yara Evolution Bookshelves.

What do I spend money on? Rent, food, day care (couldn't afford the Mrs. staying home any longer than 3 months), and whatever our little bundle of joy needs. One car payment because I had to finally replace my '97 Volvo that had 250k miles on it. Cable and internet are the only entertainment we have other than watching our daughter grow up.

What don't I spend money on? Everything else.
