Most money wasted "on" this month

[BLAST420]

$182.55 - FLCL Blu-ray Box
$47.17 - FLCLISM ++ art book

Although I don’t consider that money necessarily “wasted” given that both are things that I really wanted, and before anyone asks FLCL blu-ray looks fantastic with the only problem being the packaging which sucked.

$500 over the last two months on the following:

(click to show/hide)

5 Minolta SRT bodies - a silver 101 - fully functional, a black 101 - fully functional, a 200 - shutter hangs up if it's left to sit while cocked, a 102 - mirror return is a little dodgy, and a Super - lens mount is a little loose and the AV string needs adjustment.
1 Minolta XE-5 body - fully functional
9 minolta lenses - 24mm f2.8, 28mm f2.8, 35-70mm f3.5, 45mm f2, 2 50mm f1.7, 1 50mm f3.5 macro, 1 58mm f1.4, 1 135mm f3.5, and 2 vivitar lenses - a 28mm f2.5, and a 100-200mm f4 with a 2x teleconverter
1 Hi Matic 9 rangefinder - meter needle stuck, otherwise in great shape
1 Olympus 35RC rangefinder - fully functional
Bogen 3029 tripod head
Developing canister, changing bag, and various other darkroom accessories.
Developer, fixer, and photo flo.
40 rolls of Velvia 100
40 rolls of Fuji Acros
20 rolls of Neopan 400
40 rolls of Superia 800
20 rolls of Fuji Pro 160S
All the film is fresh aside from the Velvia, which expired 18 months ago.

I had saved the money to get a Lumix LX5 and then went slightly insane.

Still looking to pick up a few more lenses, a good film scanner, a monitor suitable for photo editing, and an Epson R2400 with a ciss.  Unfortunately I'm just about over budget, so those will have to wait a couple of months.

Nice collection you got there!

$260 on Manga, though it doesn't feel like that much of a waste.  My cheepo friends just read scanalations

[mrx168]

The usual $200 to $300 on petrol for my car.

Then there is the $130ish I blew on the Saber Triumphant Excalibur figure...

[Teaparty]

Bought a laptop for 1000. Fan had some hardware problems. Refunded, bought another laptop for 600, and a new TV for 300. So my total expenses would be $900. That, and tuition fees, but that was handled by my parents.

[itemno23886]

$500 living expenses
$140 parts/fuses when I broke down and had to walk 3mi to Pheonix, AZ
$250 fuel to drive to Fresno, CA (moving)
$40 storing the rest of what I own(figs, desks, etc) in Big Spring, TX
$130 old games (I collect this stuff)
$53 24 cans of Wolf Chili shipped from TX, because yes
$16 tv tuner card
$65 spark plugs and wires

Kinda stuck out here on my own, trying extremely hard to find work before I run out of funds. Home is half the US away.

You're moving to Fresno?

Spent 500$ on a Motorola Milestone, +15$ for screen cover and case.

More like moved, had to leave home someday, may as well do it before I'm 20 and anyone starts commenting. I'd only been here like a week when I made that post. Also, just scored a job yesterday. Even though they whine a lot(especially about the heat when it hits 90F), Fresno's jorb market is still like 80x what my old hometown's was. Live near Fresno?

£300 on rent and internet
£20 on takeaway while sorting my new flat out
£40 on food and pots and pans for said flat
£45 on train tickets for me and Mat to go to my parents for the week

And I'm planning on spending about £30-40 on wii games today. But as thats with store credit it doesn't really count.

wish i could rent even a single room apartment for that rate in my town lol.

Its fucked up for single room or 2 room apartment you start at like 900 or 1100 or so for 2 room. Renting a house for 1500 or 1600 gets you a big house with like 4 rooms and shit but you need to find room mates then which arent typically as reliable as yourself

[yaamakoh]

250$ for six months of gym membership fees  :'(
But then again, one "crazy" night in the city pretty much equals amount to the same amount.

Would that be for an apartment with shared or your own facilities though? This is literally just the room. I share facilities.

EDIT- Quote fail

[itemno23886]

depends on what you mean by facilities. Washer/dryer etc. I dont think there is any places that have those shared maybe one or two but i dont believe so in this town.

Showers and everything shared like some dorm type facilities. Definitely not that i know of with the possible exception to dorm rooms at the college up the street.

[kurandoinu]

^ So you have your own washer/dryer and shower etc? I can't quite work out what you were saying.

We share 2 washers and dryers between about 60 of us.

[Arc-sama]

So far $25 on an iTunes GC

$217 @ Barnes & Noble

$20 @ my workplace on a DVD, 3 singles & a book

$20 @ Radio Shack ~ 2 Cans of Compressed Air

[Lutador]

New HDD that was DOA.
But it`s all good, as I`ll get a new one.
Still, it`s frickin annoying I have to wait for it^^

[Neko13]

Some scale models... Heck... that suff gets expensive quick

ah all that stuff is included in apartments around me.

I was just trying to clarify on what you meant by facilities as it can differ greatly.

But yea roughly 1000$ for a 1br apartment with everything in there kitchen washer dryer etc

[kurandoinu]

If thats what I had, I'd be paying about the same amount of money as you are. Instead I have to put up with drunk freshers for a year

[zat0x91]

Halo Reach - $60
Xbox 360 HDD - $120
Steelseries Experience I-2 Glass Mousepad - $50 w/ shipping
