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?

I drive a 1996 Toyota.

No smartphone ( I get one from work).

No Blu Ray.

I get basic cable package with HD service.

I have a wife and two kids not yet in college.

Also a nice house and generally nice clothes.

We take a nice vacation on occasion.

I drink an occasional beer, glass or glass of wine.

My stereo gear is my only generally expensive hobby.

My wife likes to shop!!

Other than all that I am pretty normal I guess.
