Something that you might use,but you don't necesssarily need,or if you do need it,you really don't have to spend that much on it,cause there are cheaper options?

ie- You see a purse that is really nice,and you do actually need one,but it's expensive. You buy it anyway,even though you could have gotten a cheaper one.

did i really need to pay 200 bux each and go to all 6 prince concerts?

$6000 on something that was a totally spontaneous purchase, absolutely not needed and in the end never really used.

300€ for two shows the same day.

I spent $300 on Deniece Williams' "Niecy" Japan import CD about 8 years ago. Only to have it be reissued for $10 last year.

I can't say that I really spend money on frivolous things.

But I did spend $32/month for about 18 months on a gym membership that I didn't use.

Does that count?

I have to ask. What was it??

I can't think of anything frivolous I've ever bought that cost more than a few dollars. Unless overspending on eating out counts.

A motorcycle.

see, the thing about cocaine habits is you don't keep a receipt.

I was going to guess that

I can't think of anything either

Were they all the same? or different?

I got a student loan my sophomore year in college. I paid for the first semester and then took the rest of the loan and went out to Best Buy and got the most expensive stereo I could, plus a bunch of CDs.

When the second semester rolled around, I was working two jobs and wondering where the hell all the money was.

$6 for a used copy of Musicology.

What?!? I speak the TRUTH.

I once dropped $900 on a 1976 Mercedes 280e fixer upper.

My old neighbor would buy late model luxury imports on eBay and flip them. In a fit of I dunno what, I decided I'd buy the Mercedes from him and save money by fixing it up myself -- perhaps the second most delusional thing I ever did. I know squat about cars, and when I realized how expensive it'd be to make that thing drivable, it was clear I never should have bought it. I ultimately had to junk it without so much as driving it around the block.

buying things is good for the economy spend! spend! spend!

A pair of True Religion jeans for $267 that I have never worn. They are still in the bag and it's been a little over a year since I bought them.

Put them on Ebay!

Probably fitness supplements, like creatine, whey protein, that kinda thing. Probably spend $100 a month, which over here is quite a lot (equivalent to rent for some folks), when really I should just eat more.

400 bucks on a skirt... a plain old silk skirt.

about 20 years ago...day before Prince concert...went to Holt Renfrew and blew $3,500 on dress and the most amazing lingerie thinking that I was going to meet Him. Poor deluded creature.

not sure of the exact ammount but years ago

Paid about $150 for this:

Basically, it's the only release that has the original version of the song "I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto" on it, which was later remixed and became a hit after 'Pac died. So, it's a much coveted item.

It all balances itself out. 2Pac's "Euphanasia" personal business card that I have is worth a lot more, and I gotit for free as a gift from his brother, so...

Only about a thousand Euro ($1200). One day I just hopped a plane and went to Tuscany for a few days. I flew to Pisa, then took a train to the Tuscan countryside (the train ride is pretty short, and actually only 8 euro bucks) it's only about a 2 hour flight so it wasn't so bad. I don't regret it at all and wish I could do that more often at the drop of a hat.

I wouldn't consider that "frivolous" though. An experience like that enriches your life.
