Stuff you're glad you don't spend money on.

[BringBackBuck]

Haircuts. I get a haircut regularly enough that my hair doesn't look bad, but I have it cut short enough that I don't need one every 3 weeks.

I figured this one out a while back and just shaved my head. Liked the look of it and have never gone back. Haven't paid for a haircut in 15 years.

 

[William Fleming]

Those Japanese anime collectible figures (nendoroid I think they are technically called):

I mean holy ***t upto and over £100, imagine trying to get all of them O_O

 

[Quellist]

Drugs, cigarettes and booze (I like a bottle of Sambuca every few weeks but thats hardly a problem). Games and Gadgets cost me enough already, not having to worry about those is pretty handy.

 

[scott RFC]

i'm glad im not old enough to drive yet because the price of fuel is like extortionate

 

[TheHappySquid]

Warhammer.


Anymore.... I was young.

 

[k-ossuburb]

I'm so glad I don't have to pay for air. I think my life would be pretty difficult if I was charged per breath.

 

[Jakub324]

MMO subscriptions, Hollister goods and drugs. MM's because they take up wayyy too much time, Hollister because it's like £25 for a t-shirt and drugs because they're too expensive... I mean because I don't want to take them.

 

[similar.squirrel]

MMORPG's, collectible card games, crystal meth, childcare, health insurance, gas..

 

[babinro]

MMORPG monthly fees
DLC's at full price
Cigarettes
Alcohol
Pop
Coffee
Cell Phone

 

[Sammaul]

Tattoos and piercings, I sometimes appreciate the aesthetics, but can't think of anything that's so important to me that I would want it (semi-)permanently on my body.

That and the fact that I've seen quite a few mis-spelled quotes tattooed on people.

i.e. ''I always tell the truth, even when I lei''

 

[Arafiro]

Am I the only one who is distinctly happy with my decisions to spend money on WoW fees and alcohol?
Although, generally not at the same time. That tends to hurt my rotation quite a bit..

 

[Insideout Ink Demon]

people who believe the hype machine, and then pay full price for what turns out to be a generic hack'n; slash, RPG, FPS etc

I learnt a long time ago, wait for a sale, play demo's or wait until a game is recommended to me. too many times i see people pay full price for mid par game that i get on sale a few months after n get exactly the same game play out of for half the price.

as for DLC, i always wait for the GOTY (well 99% of the time, i did buy wardens keep)

 

[Crazy Zaul]

Booze

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Mine would be cigarettes.

 

[Spookimitsu]

Heroine, and crystal meth.

I don't think anyone buys that stuff and goes, "You know, I really feel good about this purchase."

you beat me to it! Well played sir, well played

 

[Hagi]

Nylon tights. God those things itch if you have leg hair (rough manly leg hairs though, not socially questionable female leg hairs)!

If not to wear them then my only reason for spending money on them would be quite pervy.

So yes, I'm very glad I don't spend money on nylon tights.

 

[Hyperrhombus]

I`m glad i didn`t buy the original itouch. Actually, I`m glad I haven`t invested in any apple products, what with the prices and lack of upgradeability.

Where to start?

Glad I am not hooked on:
cigarettes
real drugs
trading card games (quit MTG after just a few months luckily)
warhammer
prostitutes

Beer, books, games and internet are all very cheap time wasters. And slightly more fulfilling too.
