Your Splurges

Keep it in my pants when I do OTC. If I were a stripper it would stand for I like big bucks and I can not lie.
So here we are on a holiday that perhaps should more correctly be called Consumption Orgy Day. It occurs to me that, if it weren't for strippers, I'd pretty much be a total cheap bastard. Lap dances are the only thing I really splurge on. I drive a compact with 130K+ miles. Homeless guys often have a better wardrobe than I do. Yet I gave my #1 fav a $100 tip for X-mas. (Never had anyone get so excited over an X-mas gift before BTW.) When I was younger, I use to like to travel, but that's lost its appeal to me.

How bout you guys? Are there things you splurge on as much as or more than on naughty women?

Travel is my biggest splurge. Good food comes in second, with strippers a pretty close third place. After that, nothing comes close.

3 years ago I paid cash for a new 5.0 liter, 6 speed, Mustang GT that I really didn't need. Strippers have a long way to go to catch up to that.

I'm cheap too. I drive a high end expensive car. But it's old and has lots of miles. I still love it so I still drive it.

People are born w/ different personalities.

Some people don’t buy things not b/c they can’t afford them; but b/c having those things doesn’t really do much for them. Other people like to buy things even if they don’t have the $$$ for them.

Having stuff has never really been my thing – I dress ok enough not to look like a bum; but don’t try to buy the fanciest clothes I can afford cause it doesn’t do anything for me.

I only splurge on my two main appetites – food & naughty women – being a single guy w/o an S.O.; I tend to eat out a lot & spend a good chunk of $$$ doing so.

@ilbbaicnl - over the years I have learned through experience that I'd rather spend money on experiences rather than material objects. When I first started making money, I started getting into clothes, shoes, and some collectibles. But I quickly realized it didn't do much for me. I have since pulled back my spending on material stuff (clothes, etc) to what was was functional. Leaving excess cash flow for food, travel, and - of course - exotic entertainers.
