What Do You Do When You Get Paid?

When I get paid I normally end up buying more things for my computer, or new monitors, keyboards, mouses etc.

 

I can also save it at some points in time, so what about you? What do you spend your hard earned money on?

I don't have a job but when I do get money, I usually just put it in the bank and leave it there. Nothing to spend it on.

Good Morning...

Those Steam sales always get me. I spend my money on peripherals and games.

I mostly just try to spend it as quickly as I can, before it runs out...

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I sit around while an internal war breaks out.

 

One part of me want's to blow it all on games and other useless things. While the other half want's to save up and be a normal consumer.

 

I'm usually broke by the end of the week.

Wish that I had enough enough so that some of it is expendable. Followed up by being sad that I don't have enough to be expendable.

Mostly save it, I don't have any bills except gas for my mowers, so I just chuck it in the 'bank'. (<---Plastic cup in my drawer.) Then I save for something nice, bought a speed boat and a canoe last summer, hopefully a new PC this summer.

Bills and food, but since I work a lot and have a preset amount of food i eat everyday, i usually have quite a bit leftover but am so scared of the sky falling that i never spend it on anything. most tech i have is over 4+ years old.

well funny enough i  got paid to day.... OFF TO THE PUB!!!!! and then order a new monitor!!

 

You should probably order the monitor first. Otherwise you will either have no money left for the monitor or spend way too much money on the monitor you don't really need. Depends on how much you get paid. Either way your getting pissed. and going to be broke :)

Bills first, then savings, then groceries, then booze, whatever's left get's dumped in to a second savings account for things like computer parts/video games/lenses etc.
