Tenpin Bowling. Over AU$1800 per year on league easily beats out the few hundred that I usually spend on gaming (a little more in a year where I buy hardware, like the Wii U this year).

Gym membership probably also comes out ahead of gaming, at a little over AU$700 a year.

Seriously.  How many leagues are you in.  That's just... crazy.

I could bowl 12 games a week without even getting a league deal.

One league, four games a week. Big prize fund (from memory, I think it's $17 for game costs and $21 goes into the prize fund, each week). Came away with more than $1100 in prize money at the end of the year, this year.

Ah, gambling... makes more sense then.

I'd suggest that your actual cost is less then.


Was going to say... I could bowl 2-3 games a week WIHTOUT a legaue discount here.

Not to mention good old Midnight bowling.

Besides essentials (rent, insurance, whatever else) most of my money goes towards going out for food. I have a horrible love for Buffalo Wild Wings. I've spent a couple thousand there over the past 3 years... Dang I just realized that. Wow... My girlfriend and I usually rotate who pays for going out so she's not a huge expense. It's probably about 65-35 me-her paying. Games normally don't cost me that much unless steam is having a big sell.

My big things recently that I've been spending money on is books and board games. I've grown to absolutely love playing board games with my friends this year. I also really like getting cooking stuff, whether it be an espresso maker, a fryer, fancy glasses, etc.

It's not "Gambling" any more than a professional golfer (for instance) entering a tournament, paying the entrance fee, and then trying to win the prize money there is "gambling". Gambling involves putting money on things that are out of your control, like lotto balls, horse races, the stock market, etc. In bowling, luck plays a role, but it's about skill. I win prize money based on how well I bowl.

In this case, the league is set up in a kind of funny way, but I got $200 out of a 5th place within the league of over 30 people (that was one payoff out of eight within the league, hence how I ended up with over $1100).

And even if you subtract the winnings from the cost, it's still around $700, well beyond how much I spend on gaming.

My previous relationship had me spending very little on videogames due to dinners, adventures, concerts and having a good time. She wasn't a gold digger or anything since the spending was about 50/50, but it still made it hard for me to spend on gaming (especially when you factor in school). My current lady is very busy with her studies, so we seldom go out. A direct benefit of this has been me spending more of gaming. =D How is it for you guys? If you have families/kids then share as well. I doubt anybody here spends more on porn lol (but you never know). If other specifcy (cars or some other hobby).

wtf are you talking about boo!?

 

i was spending most of the time for us!!!!

 

how dare you calling it 50/50... more like 99.5/.50

 

porn? torrent and pornhub.com

lol You know I love you pookie bear. :*

Yea I spend zero on porn. No need, but when I get an urge I go to Youjizz. xD Can't use torrents where I am in the US, unfortunately, but in Latin America/Caribbean it is paradise.

Photography is HELLA EXPENSIVE. Lenses, body kits, etc etc etc. But ... I love it!

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Gaming. I'm probably going to save for my trip to France, but a chunk of that will go probably go towards games released in PAL regions that weren't released here.
