What do you spend your money on?

just bought a samsung lcd hdtv and about to build a new computer. other than that, waiting to by my first house also.
 
I stash it in my bank, where inflation continues to eat it. :eek7:
I need to start buying real estate to have something secure.
 
Unfortunately, at this point, just for getting by. House, Food, Utilities,etc. For years I would say i have been severely underspending so when I make more money I more or less just add "normal" expenses that others take for granted until i reach the boring normal expected lifestyle.

I'll put it this way: We all know people who work their asses off for other people as employees at a job only to barely get the bills paid. Well. for me its like that except I don't punch the clock for anyone except myself and i prefer it that way.

The good news is that I make real progress with my business every day and that i know if this point is the worst it will ever be it's alright. Even if something catastrophic happened to my business i would easily be able to meet my needs and never have to worry about the whims of others affecting my life.

Like some others, I pretty much invest everything ( and then some) back into the business, in acquiring more websites, improving my ROI on existing properties,etc.

So the one thing I probably spend my money on is websites/domains, tools,etc. I dont really count that because its not a personal expense.

As my income grows it will probably go into making my house more enjoyable, maybe buying some more, and eating out.
 
paying the high living rip off bills in london ($2.5k per month for rent + bills), other bills e.g. credit cards, petrol (another $3.2k per month), and about to dish out $4.5k for a 2 week vacation in China. (My 6 month daughter, my wife n I).
 
My new house.
My gilfriend
My kids
More food, gas, playing golf, tipping the waiter and pizzaboy etc...
 
I'm building a new house
Wife and kids
Food
Car payments

Unfortunately nothing that exciting anymore. Once the house is done, I'm putting a full bar / billards / movie theater in the basement. So that will suck up a bunch of cash.
 
Birthday and Christmas gifts for the 5 kids, their partners, and my grand daughter

This is why i have always ignored holidays...yea it sucks i dont get much because people know i am not getting them anything but i figure the money i save not buying presents and stupid shit that will sit in a box in a closet is a lot more than what i would ever get in presents from ppl...keep their expectations low and they will get extra excited if you offer to take them to dinner or buy them a beer hahaha
 
Fixing my broken house, property taxes, electric bills, car insurance, legal fees for estate lawyers, etc.

I spend very little money on fun, and IT SUCKS! I'm doing my own painting and landscaping, and need to make some fucking money so I don't have to dig.

I WANT TO MAKE SOME FUCKING MONEY!
 
Much love for Mint.com... last month's chart.

I spend a little on rent and clothes, but have a major problem with splurging on food.

I really love eating out at nice places.
