If my wife would let me it would be motorcycles, but since they are the cause of the shape Im in.....not going to happen, in this life anyway.
It use to be be gambling but we live in this horrible place called Texas now.
So now Im down to eating out ...a cigar once a week and maybe buying pistols (Colt)
but I already own everything I want just about.

What's the going rate on those, these days?

[Green Sub]

Not expensive at all compared to the other vehicles in this thread.

What does make it extravagant, is that I've only put 671 miles on her since she was special ordered and delivered in January 2007. Not a daily driver or even a weekend car. Just had a free spot in the garage and I had a '70 Mustang in high school. Oh the memories.

Stock Market. I've been pounding money away for years. Even though my portfolio took a 47% whack I will still have funded a nice retirement as I am anticipating it will come back. Every year I up my contribution amount to cover the make-up portion.

I really am quite frugal in how I live. Very few vices anymore. No credit debt, cars paid cash for, getting older and less wise.

You need a purse for each outfit! Each purse has its own look, and adds its uniqueness to each look a woman is going for! And we have different needs on different occasions, so we need different purses to suit them! Some purses are just for going out when you don't bring a bunch of stuff, sometimes you need everything but the kitchen sink in the purse.
Really, it all makes perfectly logical sense. I have tons of purses, and am always on the lookout for new ones!

[Bisquitlips]

My wife hates purses.............. Thank God!!!

[S/SOnly]

Wine..... Red Wine.... Really nice red wine.... To Share with friends though, not solo.

I also like giving stuff to my wife, even though she never asks for much.

I only want one at a time, buddy! Can't keep track of all my stuff as it is - I agree with your wife - purses can be a pain. Now, ask my husband why he has a dozen messenger bags and backpacks? He's the bag addict at our house.

Besides the wife's extravagances and paying for my son's college education, the wife and I just came back last week from the Caribbean where we spent 7 days floating around on this...

I will take a pair off your hands. Not only will I help you out financially, but I can call your daddy-in-law.

I will have a word with the girls. There are so many of us in our small house that it is getting a little hot and sweaty. As for the expense, when they were born, the diaper companies gave us free diapers for life. Now however, they refuse to wear them and Victoria's Secret won't even give me a discount.

I'll beam a couple of them down. Let me have the coordinates.

You poor dear. It's a good thing those girls aren't into putting clothes on over their undies or you'd really be in the poor house!

[Brunotheboxer]

Beach house.

[DoxaDavid]

I've changed my bad habits over the years. Was a boater like Al and I can attest to it being a GIANT money pit. Add motors and the cost goes up exponentially. Owned a Chaparral 285 SSi till last spring. Happiest days in a boaters life are the day he buys his first boat and the day he sells his last!

Next was motorcycles. Last was a custom Roadking until I dumped it at 70mph and almost died in 2005. Me on my bike (pre customized) in Sturgis with an Albino Python. No more of them for a while if I want to keep married.

Then there has always been cars. Sold my Chevelle last year but still have the TA and a '64 Chev Impala Convertible.

Lot's of other little extravagances but none as bad as already mentioned. My wifes are shoes. She has I think 75-100 of every conceivable kind. Don't know one from another nor what they cost and DON'T want to know.

[Lisa]

David, is that Trans Am a 1979? My brother and I shared one of those in high school - it was dark blue.
