Me? Probably travel. I live to travel. I don't have kids or a wife, but
I do have a good deal of friends who also like to travel so I end up
taking three or four vacations a year. For example, in June, I went to
England to visit some relatives, then I hooked up with some friends in
Liverpool. In August, I spent eight days with a friend in Las Vegas,
then a few weeks later, I spent a weekend at the beach.

Food and wine. That's what saving all the money on everything else is
for!

Exactly! We're retired and on a limited income. Our "new" car is 1993
Geo Prizm (the other car is a 1987 Accord). We live in a small one-
bedroom house and seldom travel. I shop for clothes at resale shops
and thrift stores. But we dine out at least once a week and love good
wine.
I am also not frugal when it comes to fragrances. I like Chanel and
Dior. The cheap stuff just doesn't cut it for me.

So far the failure rate is 1:300,000. Be careful everybody. Danger
lurks.

$40 DVD players are a waste of money. They don't even last a year,
their output is TRASH.

One bathrobe killed 9 people. I think after it killed 3 or 4 people, I
wouldn't haven't gotten near the damn thing. Just like in the movies,
"Don't go in the basement!", people just won't learn and listen. I'll
tell you what, after this I'm going to be showing all my clothes just
a little more respect.

My 4 year old was given a small flashlight from a local autoparts
chain. A week later my son turned it on and off while I was driving
and informed me it was on fire in his hand. It was spewing a sizeable
cloud of smoke and caused a near accident as I tried to get it away
from him and out of the car. About 25% melted. I now stay away from
any unknown electronics.
