What are you doing with the money you aren't spending on gaming products?

[Lhorgrim]

I'm actually spending more now that 4E is out than I did before, but that is primarily due to a big rank increase at work.

In the 3.X era I just didn't have the money to keep up with all of the supplements after 3.5 came out. I had purchased a bunch of the 3.0 supplements, and after 3.5 came out I was a bit gun shy. If I had the salary then that I have now, I would have bought most of the 3.5 stuff.

Now I can afford the supplements for 4E, but they aren't putting any out at the moment.

Also, buying a new house. Woot!

I'm not entirely sure, but I have a theory that it vanishes to some sort of monetary black hole.

I am unfamiliar with this concept of having money and not spending it on gaming products.

This, perhaps from a different angle. I don't have the extra money to begin with.

I knew the price on certain firearms was going to skyrocket so I hurriedly made some purchases.....similar to the one below.

Other than that, I am thinking about building me a gaming table like the one from The Ultimate Gaming Table since its large and can fit 9 folks.

What's left of my old RPG money is going to my daughters Karate and Ballerina classes.... Trust me, Karate is not cheap.

Spent $300+ on gaming stuff and "mundane'" care package stuff (shampoo, beef jerky, etc.) for service members over in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yeah, me too. But more package stuff than gaming stuff.

Since WotC lost me last year Paizo is making more money.

Nice! I just got a 40w Blues Deluxe 1x12 (same as you have, but with a bluesy dirty channel) with an Ibanez TS-808.

My top expenditures, in order of size, are:
- Guitars, amps, stomp boxes, n' other things (can you ever have enough guitars and amps?)
- Entertainment electronics
- Food (I eat out every night, so this amount is astronomical!)
- Comic books and movies
- Computers and accessories

Gaming is actually somewhere near the very bottom of my expenditures. The way I see it, I would save money by going back to my college days of only spending money on Ramen noodles and D&D.

My "brothah from anotha motha!" Besides our common interest in guitar, I, too, eat out almost daily, and am in the process of cataloging and divesting myself of a HUGE (30+ longboxes) comic book collection. (I'm in the middle of a whole-house renovation, and had to move all of those suckers out into a storage facility by myself...and I swore "Never again!")

Its funny: I have several guitars, including 4 electrics, but until now, I've been playing through a Korg PX4 & headphones. A big Christmas gift (and my not buying anymore 4Ed) has let me get my first amp- the aforementioned Fender HRD.

And sometime this week, I'm going to get a Boss RT-20 and Boss RE-20- I spotted them on sale for a whopping $168 less (combined) than anywhere else I've seen in the D/FW Metroplex.

Sigh...I really ought to start another Guitar Gear thread someday.

Looks like I'll be dropping half of my spendable money this month on the GM's Day deals at Rpgnow.com

Paizo gets a regular influx of RPG cash from me due to their subscription services. That's all I'm spending on RPGs these days. I really couldn't say where the "extra" money goes.

That's about what I'm doing too. I've got 3 subs from Paizo going right now. Unfortunately, there aren't all that many opportunities to actually play what I'm buying since one group I play in has a couple of games queued up including a Mass Effect GURPS, 4e, homebrew 3e, and classic modules 3e. And the other group I'm playing in is about 60% through the Shackled City campaign.
So, no dearth of gaming, just hard to work new Paizo fun into the schedule...

Since the release of 4e I have had a lot more cash than I used to. I have been saving at least $150 per month which means I have saved about a thousand dollars in the last six months or so. So far I have travelled to the bay area, taken my SO out to dinner a few times, picked up some new textbooks for my classes, and bought a wii. All in all, not a bad year.

Since having gotten married over a year ago, that budget went down (playing stayed the same though), but I've managed to by other rpgs now, Xbox 360 and PS3 games, more DVDs, and miniatures.

I would like a wii for mii too, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Happy Gaming
