if no GF wouldn't the 'crap' and 'entertainment' be spent on yourself? |

other than whores and strip clubs i don't have very many expensive habits, i often dress like a hobo and only buy new clothes or shoes once a year maybe, even then i shop at the ty low end stores like Ross or Old Navy...but i do take the occasional world tour and stop by monaco or st bart's but does that make me a bad person? no

A few.
There's this kid I know who's got the niftiest gadgets I've ever seen, and mentioned he's always in debt (U$ 500-1000 at any given time). I don't know how he manages to keep this debt constant, as I have always assumed it would increase over time because of the interest rates and the like, but he's been able to pull this off for a couple of years now.
There's also this couple we know that travel abroad like Europe is just a few metres away. They, however, are apparently very good at dealing with money, smell incredibly low discount prices at a distance, and use thier skills to slake their Wanderlust an perhaps find Waldo, Carmen Sandiego, and Matt Acton in the process.
I can't understand how people spend this much money though... I don't think I could. |

| The closest I've ever been to debt was when I went £100 into my overdraft on one of my accounts for a week. I still had about £4k in another account with the same bank, so I doubt that counts as true debt. |

| I think I would definitely blow money on stupid if I had a LOT left over to spare. Once I'm done paying off my line of credit I intend to put almost as much as I put towards that into a savings account or some other kind of investing instead - and it still blows my mind how much money I will have to just blow on I won't really need...I will actually have to come up with things to spend it on. Prob just take more small vacations or something. |

Yeah, it was at that time. I'd just moved to Leeds at the end of 2009 when the job market was disgusting, and went a couple of months without work. I was living on literally £52 a week, which was not fun at all. I always had my savings though, which I never dipped into. |
