This money pit.

Every time I miss sailing in the winter I just take an ice cold shower while full clothed, drink warm canned beer, and tear up $100 bills. Ahh.... that's the feeling!

It would have to say my camera gear, especially since I'm not a professional photographer.

BLSampson · 31 January 2009, 11:08 PM

My Guns!

Lisa · 31 January 2009, 11:14 PM

I'm not extravagant on a regular basis, but I did plop down a lot on soapstone countertops for the kitchen.

Trurolexer · 31 January 2009, 11:14 PM

Other watches...Nothing, sorry.

Eighty percent of my money is spent on wine, women and song. I just throw the rest of it away on watches.

Pearls. I have seven strands (culled down from ten). I recently bought a strand of Tahitians similiar to the ones in my avatar. Won't tell you what they cost. Won't tell my husband either.

How about...SEX?

Jimbits76 · 1 February 2009, 12:39 AM

Nothing extravagant as paying £3500 for a watch and then £250 every few years to keep her going.

Aisde from the mortgage/food/utilities, my money goes on:

Books
Vinyl Records
Luxury German or English bears for the boy
Coins
Custom built blues harps.
Jewellry for wife

ijen0311 · 1 February 2009, 12:53 AM

I love purses

Still saving up for a Birkin... haven't bought it yet cause I'd rather have a new watch

Ashley · 1 February 2009, 01:03 AM

I spend my money on books, sushi and Guess purses! <3

chenx15 · 1 February 2009, 01:15 AM

Deep Sea · 1 February 2009, 01:45 AM

Mostly on wine...red of course. When I'm in the US, it's also spend on handguns and shotguns. Also, I spend quite a lot on jewelry for my wife.

DSJ · 1 February 2009, 01:59 AM

This is hilarious!!!!

And very sweet I might add!

TheDude · 1 February 2009, 02:09 AM

Seriously? No one has mentioned time???

Spent time is the most extravagant expenditure we can make. You can get more of just about anything else...

Numismatist · 1 February 2009, 02:21 AM

Vacations!!!
DisneyWorld, Skiing, California, Caribbean, South America - anyone guess where the red marker is from?

Bisquitlips · 1 February 2009, 02:24 AM

I guess I would have to say that my greatest extravagance is my lovely wife Leah!

I do enjoy spoiling her! She seems to enjoy it also.

11 great years together and she purchased my first Rolex for me, which is the reason I am now addicted to TRF!

Widows Son · 1 February 2009, 02:27 AM

It used to be mostly guns. Now it's watches, my 61 VW bug, Harley's, and an ocassional fountain pen.

Cato · 1 February 2009, 02:42 AM

firearms...bang bang!
