NekoKnight Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Aside from rent/bills/food/dates, I try to save as much as I can and from what's left I spend on traveling and the occasional game that takes my interest. I like to collect tapestries and other cultural items from the places I visit. I mostly save it.I still live with my mother because honestly is much cheaper to the both of us. Living alone is not as good as it's cracked up to be, in mean, the privacy is good, but I felt like the price of living alone was not worth it, at least not yet. I wish the stigma for young adults to live with their parents went away. It's practical and the only downside is the lack of privacy, which is only significant if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend. I lived with my parents until I was 20, only moving out for my final year of university. Better to live well with your family than to live in borderline poverty just to make a statement about your independence.

The DanMan Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Like the TC, I mostly hoard money and don't spend much. What I do spend most of it on, though, are videogames- books can be acquired from the library and there are many ways to find music without spending money.

Knight Falchion Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I don't make much so it mostly goes towards food. Luckily my parents help with rent, else I'd need a second job. Whatever's leftover goes towards savings and occasionally MH merch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirie Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 30 still counts as young, right? I have a specific amount of money set aside as "disposable income", which is what I use for fun stuff. Mostly it goes towards Cipher cards, Pokémon cards, and video games. I also like to keep a buffer of disposable savings in case I want something particularly expensive; for example, I splurged on the Fates N3DSXL earlier this year, and this winter I will be commissioning an FE cosplay for conventions.

Life Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 At age 25, it goes like this: - Rent - Cigarettes - Drugs (alcohol and weed for the most part, cocaine every now and again) - Snacks (for munchies) - Other That's the list in order.

whase Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 [..]this winter I will be commissioning an FE cosplay for conventions. Ooh awesome! What character will you be cosplaying and what conventions will you attend? (A Tellius cosplay by any chance? I'm part of a Dutch Tellius cosplay group and cosplay PoR Lord!Ike myself =3 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm part of a Dutch Tellius cosplay group and cosplay PoR Lord!Ike myself =3 ) I haven't decided 100% yet, but it'll probably be Lissa (though Light Priestess!Micaiah is actually my second-place contender at the moment; I might get that done sometime in the future and swap between them). I hope to do a few conventions in the Netherlands and also Hyper Japan in the UK, and I plan on giving out Cipher cards, too. ^^ I used to do conventions a decent amount in the US and I miss it quite a lot.

Strawman Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 -Rent -Student loans -Groceries/Gas Those take up most of my money. If I'm spending anything else its on eating out/going out/fun times with friends or video games (i'm an impulse spender in this regard).

UNLEASH IT Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I save as much as possible. I've actually started to grow my own vegetables and then use the peels, cores and other disposables that I obtain from them to make compost, which I put back into the vegetables.

Roxas Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 If we're talking about things that we just spend our own money on (like not tuition, rent, etc.) I spend a good chunk of my disposable income on my girlfriend, but most of that in itself is also funneled towards really fucking good dinner dates, some games (bought a ps4 last year, RIP wallet), and the rest on like food/snacks and groceries and shit.

Moonstone Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Most of my money goes to rent, bills, food. I save a lot, too, since I want to buy a house soon. Op, if you don't already have something in mind, you should save it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
