    Most of us are roughly the same in the fact that we've got bills and responsibilities, we have to budget, and try to save. We all have those little areas where we like to splurge though. Some prefer neat kitchen appliances while others may be more into their computer.


    What do you typically splurge on?

    I figured that'd be the case for you, but in a way wouldn't you consider your travels splurging as they are not a necessity?

    I do not consider that splurging, I consider it a way of life.

    Interesting. I guess I can't say much, I consider masturbating a way of life.

    How many different countries have you been to?

    I have no idea, but not that much really. Maybe 25 or 30 or so.

    Damn. I guess in the grand scheme of things it's not that many, but of people I know, nobody has been to more than 5-10.

    I guess that is a big difference between Americans and Europeans, if you travel a bit in Europe you can easily visit many countries. And besides that, Americans in general tend to stay in their own country instead of travelling abroad.

    Lets face it, Americans have two continental possibilities. Canada and Mexico, that's it. Everything else is overseas. I'll travel much more once I move to Italy, which will hopefully be before I'm 30.

    Don't feel bad, I don't splurge on many things, but I do so way more than I should. I'm a sucker car electronics and clothing.

    yeah, I end up dropping $5 and $10 and $15 a lot of places, but I don't usually splurge in large amounts, I feel really guilty if I do. Plus I rarely have enough money saved up to buy something expensive,I have to plan for it (like buying a computer later in the summer, hopefully my laptop will last to then, it's been making funny noises lately)

    Sunglasses! Not just one pair, but a pair of every color. Oh well, they're not all that expensive, I get them pretty cheap.
