[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]don't any of you have hobbies?

I spend maybe $150 every 3 months to get my hair colored, maybe 600-700 annually on clothes, another 100-200 annually on regular shoes...

But also a lot more on running shoes, my gym membership, sewing supplies, Friday night hockey league, lunches and dinners out with friends.

I  spend an average $250 or so a month on all that and sundry.  [/quote]

I spend very little on beauty ($30 cut at Great Cuts or whatever 2 x year, maybe $300 on clothes a year, and I don't use cosmetics - the whole family just uses Head and Shoulders and the same moisturizer and sunscreen so I don't count that as "mine"). But I do spend a great deal on myself - books, garden supplies, and gear for my sport. I just think different things make each of us happy. Since we aren't rolling in the dough I have to make choices, and I'd take a new book over a haircut any day.[/quote]

Yes!  This is exactly what I was saying.  I keep seeing all these super low numbers, and they don't include the other things most of us are spending on, like books and hobbies.  I'd also choose a new book over a haircut any day, but it's not like I'm not spending the money --- I'm just spending it on things that matter to me.[/quote]

I check out dozens of books monthly from the library, but unless I return late, no fees. (About half are audiobooks, and half of the rest are electronic copies.)

My hobbies are the above running, rowing, dog-walking. Also rock-climbing, so maybe the gas money to get there?[/quote]
