Same. Anytime I think I want/need something that is expensive, I hold off for a week and see if I still want it. It's saved me from buying a car a time or two, saying me literally thousands every year.

(I don't have a car, just a bike and public transit.)

No such thing as a bad lap dance. It's just some are a lot better.

As much as we use our golf cart, I wouldn't mine getting rid of it.

Pretty much how I do things. I honestly can't think of anything I've bought recently that I have any regrets over. Guess if I'd go back about 11-12 years, the whole wedding ring to get married would definitely fit, since that didn't turn out well, but that's about it.

As dlazz said, if I'm spending a large amount of money. I'm reviewing and testing the shit out of it.

If I could go back, I wouldn't get a plasma TV even though my TV has been great.

Agreed. I don't really buy anything big. I've only bought one TV in my life, and I needed the few computers I bought. None of them were super expensive, so I don't regret it.

I do get a pit in my stomach basically anytime I buy something, even if it's cheap and I need it. I just hate spending money in general.

I can agree with both of those. I tend to be frugal to a fault with the occasional binge purchase. With those binge purchases being far more researched than one would think of a binge purchase because I hate spending money on anything other than necessities and recreational substances.

Which goes to the bar tabs. One of my friends is in a local band and whenever I go to see them, I wind up spending about as much money in one night of drinking as I would in 2 weeks or so of just going to hang out with friends 2-3 nights a week.

I dumped a few grand into a Honda fucking Civic during highschool.

On a positive note, it was very tasteful compared to the abominations you would see kids "modding" in those days.

I think you'll regret some city life when/if you move.

I already regret city life. Do you mean regret leaving the city?

There are definitely some nice things about it, and there will be some things I will miss, but I can always visit a city for a few hours.

I don't buy anything unless its a instrument designed to make myself more money or if it allows me to easily get into the pants of women. I've found out it only takes about $30(about 3 drinks in DC) to accomplish this. Honestly, I could probably just show them my bank account and it would accomplish the same thing.

You are working too hard if that's what it takes for you in DC.
