Computer, Motoring Vehicles, Electricity/Petrol (Energy Sources).
Even though according to moores law, a top spec PC will be outdated in 2 years the thrill of building a new PC never fails to puts a smile to my face. Especially when you built for like £2k but it'd cost like £4k to buy it prebuilt. Prebuilt PC are so overpriced.
Same with riding a decent bike (more thrilling) or driving a nice car like a BMW M3 or any convertible at high speed (more relaxing) goes double with roof down on a nice day

Re: What are you willing to spend decent money on?I totally agree with that! I play 4 different sports but I try to buy the best gear for my buck. For me it is, the best, or none.(Original post by TheJ0ker)
Just sports gear really! If you are into a sport its much better to do it with nice gear.
And also good ps3 games. -

I have to mention shoes again, especially since it looks like I am not the only person here who would spend a lot on shoes!
I was brought up knowing that you should spend good money on a bed, and good money on shoes, because if you're not in one, you're probably in the other.

Well, I've already got dive kit of my own, which has been several years of birthday and christmas presents, but when the time comes to replace them, I definitely won't be holding back. I enjoy breathing, I know that's selfish, but I want to know that I have kit that won't break on me all the time. So yeah, scuba diving kit.
And theatre/comedy. Although very few good things come close to where I live. But if there's something or someone I really want to see, I think I'd just go for it and pay it, because I'll never get that chance again. Sadly distance usually prevents me. Still, once I'm at uni I'll only be a couple of hours away from London, and then the West End is mine!!!Last edited by aspirinpharmacist; 04-03-2012 at 15:25. -

Skis would be my moneysink... a good competition standard pair of slalom skis (and I suppose the boots to go with them
). Those would probably cost about 1000 euros, for a top-of-the-range pair.
If I had loads of money, I'd love to buy a really good showjumper (horse), but we're talking tens of thousands for a great one, so that's definately not going to happen anytime soon aka ever. -
Re: What are you willing to spend decent money on?don't do this(Original post by Mr Bee)
I love the people that live by the motto, why go for second best! I mean, I am 14 and I recently bought a road bike. I saved up for it and everything. I originally saved for a Carrera, this was £300. I decided to save another £200 and get a Specialized. Determination :P
My next save is an acoustic guitar. Maybe some Beats by Dre :\ -
Re: What are you willing to spend decent money on?
I dont know about anyone else but usually before i make a purchase i spend the full day browsing online. I try to make myself an expert in a pair of trainers or headphones, read loads of review and even watch youtube vids of a kid with the trainers. If they have an extra function which i probably wont even use or have fantastic ratings then i don't mind paying more for.
