Dog stuff, obv. Too much of it, entirely. I justify it by belonging to a dog FB group where I sell/trade/etc stuff, LOL... so a lot of the stuff I end up buying is coming from my money in my paypal acct. from sold dog things, so it kind of just keeps going in a big giant circle. And my other justification? I CAN lol.

Techhy things - new tablets, phones, laptops, etc. Cameras, love my lenses and my accessories to go with my camera.

Food. I eat out entirely too much and could save a lot of money by not doing so.

I will usually splurge once a year on a $120-$200 pair of jeans. I am very picky about my jeans so it's worth it to me to buy really nice ones.

I forgot to add that I do occasionally splurge on aquarium stuff.

I will be "splurging" to invest in breeding stock in the next year or so, but I don't think that really counts.

Dogs-- Toys, classes, trials, building agility stuff.

Dinner-- Main Street is our kitchen, we rarely cook at home.

Weekends off--- Every other weekend we travel somewhere and spend monies.

That's pretty much it!

Dog stuff. Period.

Seriously I'd be so stinking rich if it weren't for them, I really don't spend money on anything else. :eek:

:OOO I see the word breeding stock and aquariums? What kind of fish do you breed? (I used to breed a ton of fancy guppies)

Mostly dog stuff.

I eat out a couple times per week but it isn't anything fancy. I guess I splurge on hard cider but I go through maybe a 6 pack a week. Maybe.

My pets eat up most of my money and I spend an awful lot on rent to live by myself... with all my pets.

Sometimes Tim and I go away for a weekend and then we spend money on hotel/food/entertainment. I LOVE it while we're there but then I always get home and feel guilty.

Pet stuff 95% of the time or said pets. I've spent thousands the past year on reptiles especially but after this year my herp room should be completely pimped out. I did buy myself a new ipad and accessories for that and I buy a lot of books but usually big purchases are house needs, appliances and such.

Dog stuff and Books for me. Hugo seriously doesn't need any more stuff but I want allll the things. I keep telling my SO that's going to totally payoff when we get next dog because she'll be similar in size and they can share so much stuff! I also LOVE books and read all the time so, while we don't have a lot of "stuff" we have three packed full bookshelves, plus a ton of e-books on our e-readers.

For the SO it's usually crafty/diy stuff.

Nothing at the moment! I have bred bettas, all sorts of livebearers, angels, etc. Nothing too exotic. Breeding stock is going to be reptiles for now, though, as I don't have as much space as I once did for tanks - just doing displays now!

- Dog stuff :p Going to the petstore or god forbid one of those specialty dog stores is very bad for my wallet

- Food (tea falls into this category I guess). I love going to places like the coop or organic food stores, as well as farmers markets. I love good quality healthy foods. Also tea, oh my.

- sport- and outdoor clothing and shoes. I am def. an outdoor person and I love all my outdoorclothing. :p I would wear my hiking boots everywhere if I could.

-And travel. I guess this is my biggest thing. I love traveling. Not because I NEED a vacation but because I love seeing different places in the world. We just booked our summer vacation to Sweden!! Zora is coming as well :D

Mostly dog stuff and eating out.

But also, especially in the summer time, dresses. Yeah, ask me 3 years ago if I'd even consider wearing a dress and I would have said no freakin way. But now... I have no problem dumping $50-$100 on a nice dress, but wont spend over $30 on a pair of pants lol.

Gorgeous dress!

I love dresses too but I'm cheap. Most expensive clothes require more maintenance than I'm willing to do, and with a cat and dog, I've learned that clothes don't always last.

You should check out pinupgirlclothing.com if you don't already know about it. I am not usually a clothes horse, but I have been known to drop a wad over there.

We love gaming. Video games, tabletop games, board games, card games. If i have a bit of free cash, it goes to games.

He likes alcohol. I like cigarettes. Most of our free cash that could go towards our hobbies instead goes towards things that we consume every day, which iwould really like to change.
