What are your in-game spending habits?

In WoW I have a bank character and I send him 200g whenever I make more than 200g.
I only usually spend money on raising a profession, an alt, or repairs.
Damn, repair NPC's are rich...

Go to a shop, spend to upgrade weapons, sell old weapons. Get a couple of other items. Then go quest some more. I normally never dip under what ever 10 of the most useful life items come out to be(like a lemon gel in Tales of Symphonia)
Fire Emblem I get very paranoid about weapon supplies. I buy 3 extra weapons. Then healing potions by their respective names in their respective games. In FF, I buy 99 normal potions then when I get hurt I use as many as it takes to get to full health. I don't bother with Hi-potions.
When i play WoW i can spend kinda much really, but then on the other hand i
have a maximum low limit at 4k gold that i never go under.
So if i get close to it i go and farm or whatever, so guess i can
call my self kinda good with "money"
Same irl if i have some to spend maybe i will.

I am OCD. I plan out (on paper, or more recently the more environment friendly white board) what I will get for selling current stuff and what the best armour, weapons, etc. I can get at each store for the money I have and then make the appropriate transactions.
I never buy.
I'm a collector IRL(basically a severe form of "but I might need it later") which automatically carries over to how I play games. Fortunately it's not THAT bad for me(and in the last years it's improved a little bit) but to keep this about games, I usually finish Final Fantasy games with EVERY consumable I've collected and not a single one used(well, in an area where I could easily get a potion, I might use one and farm 2 extra, 1 when at 99). I would not buy a shortsword to replace my stick, simply because there might be a longsword drop.(but when I get the longsword, the stick will go) I usually finish games with millions of gold simply because the one time I might buy an item(costs maybe 50 gold when I have 100k) I will farm twice the amount of money spent to compensate.
The only exception is an inn for the simple reason that a full heal costs less than the potions I would have had to spend on it. Games with a duplication glitch are also an exception in that I will carry a stack with the item limit and have at least six stacks of that item in the storage I will then always "cheat" the items I've spent back.

I pretty much entirely depend on loot drops for upgrades. Money is used for... ummmm... repair bills in WoW. And it kinda just sits there in anything else, unless I'm saving up for something reallly nice. I always pick a class/talent spec that allows for self healing.
In games like Guild Wars, where everything that is dropped is USELESS but sometimes really good to sell, I buy my weapons - through collectors. So more like bartering, I guess. I refuse to buy dyes though, seeing as they cost so much and I'm not on my 'final' tier armour yet. :l
... But with Fallout 3, I sell like crazy and then buy at the same time so it evens out and I don't feel too bad.
But in any other game I just buy like crazy - money is easy to get In real life, I am about the same... hence why I only ever have about $50 to my name at any given time :l

The last game I really got into economically was Fallout 3. I would loot everything which was worth at least one bottlecap per pound, sold everything at crater side supply, then after the stupid amounts of ammo and stimpaks I eventually got had been amassed, I became the best possible alignment because I never asked for monetary compensation for saving a small since I had bought everything that I really would ever need.
Before that, I had WoW taking up my economical side. I would sell 20 wool (which took all of two minutes of killing and looting the right low level enemies to get) for 20 gold (100 copper is 1 silver, 100 silver is 1 gold in that game) to lazy people who had reached the highest level and raided enough money so that 20 gold mean't less than your social life when you actually play that game.

I usually forget that there's an in-game shop in some games...like Final Fantasy IX - I played that through until disc 4 where I realized that there were shops.
It helped a lot.
In other games, I just sell most of what I have and I don't buy anything unless it's health potions or if they have a better weapon than the one I have equipped.

I'll spend money on armour, weapons, and of course healing items. But I find in a lot of western RPGs, the enemies often drop better weapons and armour then anything the shops are selling so I rarely have to. Still look though.
In most games, I stock up on an even amount of potions or whatever healing items are in the game. Usually about 10 or 15.
Other than that I don't really buy anything besides weapons and armor. I never buy anything else, and I stop buying healing items if I learn a curing spell or something or I just destroy the enemies so bad they don't leave a scratch on me.
