    Best things you spend money on?

    I enjoyed Sour's idea for a post so much I decided to copy him.

    I really enjoy my weekend or 3 day trips with my wife.One of my favorite things to do. Money well spent.

    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        Like Greg, I think that the trips I take with my wife when we can convince grandparents to take the kids is the best thing we spend money on. I also feel good about our charitable contributions, like chancellor noted. I don't feel quite as good about how high our annual synagogue dues are, though.

          Anything that makes my little kids happy, whether it is apple picking, pumpkin farms, trips, toys etc. We had kids late, and by the time we did, I guess I was sort of over doing a lot of stuff like that. Having young ones lets you see the world through new eyes. They enjoy stuff with such intensity it makes it more fun for me.

                Had to replace a car this month and got a 2002 bmw 325i convertible for $3200. I have never had a car with a good engine before, what a joy hitting the highway in that thing.

                    My best purchases over the years have been relatively innocuous -- and cheap -- things.

                    - Bought a second hand office chair when I was a student ... helped solve some lower back strain I was suffering from.
                    - Anti-allergenic pillow ... for years would wake up with a mild sore throat because of some kind of dust /particle / microbe allergy ... this solved that instantly
                    - SSD ... epic (and cheap) upgrade from running Windows on a HDD.

                    Stuff like that ...

                    In general though:

                    Concert tickets and travel

                    ... with the two often connected ... going to a live concert as an excuse for a short trip.

                      I like to read books and sometimes even like to spend money on them. I don't travel as much as I would like but never have regretted money spent on traveling, whether close to home or far away.

                      Boring, I know, but...

                      House payment? I like having a house, especially for the children.

                      Taxes? I like having a generally lawfully functioning and safe society.

                          Yeah, I'm fully expecting that post to be followed by Mr Fast's announcement he is running for political office .

                            My monthly RJ dues. I can't believe how much they went down while I was gone.

                              Our insurance went down after the otters moved out.
