Comments on: What’s your favorite dumb but fun expense? http://www.punchdebtintheface.com/2009/04/whats-your-favorite-dumb-but-fun.html A less crappy personal finance blog Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:36:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: eemusings http://www.punchdebtintheface.com/2009/04/whats-your-favorite-dumb-but-fun.html#comment-1004 eemusings Fri, 17 Jul 2009 01:17:21 +0000 http://www.punchdebtintheface.com/?p=59#comment-1004 My BF is like you - it's like anathema to imagine having a car without sounds! Unfortunately ours got broken into and his sub/amp stolen. Not gonna be replaced for a looong time. Such a shame - he got a REALLY good deal, they were worth about double what he paid cause he knew the guy at the store. <br /><br />For me, it's probably more about experiences - things like food, travel and concerts. Not that I've ever been to a concert - the few that I have wanted to go to, and could afford, I could never get tickets for! Big names sell out pretty much instantly in NZ. As for trying to score a good deal on trademe after the fact, well, i'm just too lazy :P My BF is like you – it's like anathema to imagine having a car without sounds!

I'm glad I'm not the only person that has a stupid investment in sound. Not a bad deal on that ride dennis. I'm glad I'm not the only person that has a stupid investment in sound.

Fortunately, when I bought my 07 mustang a year ago it came with 8 inch subwoofers from the factory and that hits nice, not overwhelming. I bought the car used btw, brand new it was 22k but I copped it for 14k (11k miles on it only) with 1.99% APR :) LOL I probably spent over a grand on a sound system myself but this was in high school.

I chose a Toyota Corolla for the more practical reasons and I dont regret the buy but I still think about the cost and the fact I should have shopped around more and maybe gotten one used. I got the sport model, with 3 miles on her when I drove off the lot. Wifey and I still love the car and are glad we bought it but, ya know.<br />Other than that, I sometimes buy domain names on a whim ;)I have half a dozen, with only one in use.

They only cost like, ten dollars, and are usually super fun for a little while, but end up sitting there not being used a week or two after I purchase them.<br/><br/>Super fun though.

My dumbest (and most fun) expenses are alcohol and concerts. I’ve gotten better about them both.

I rarely drink out at bars, and instead drink at home. And I’m definitely going to fewer concerts than I used to, but I still travel to go see some shows.
