What does everyone's other halves spend money on

guitarfishbay

Costumes (samba dancing), drum and dance workshops (samba/anything African), books, holidays

Very little. 

Occasionally bits of knitting related paraphernalia, but that's about it.

Another horse owner here. We have 2 although one is a pony which is just a posh donkey that costs as much. She also loves a facial which of course I've offered to give for free many times but she has declined saying she prefers a non organic option.

Alnico

Jewelry and sexy clothes.

I might not be all that but i've got her and she's incredible.

Most of my girlfriends income goes to her parents in the form of loans. Most expensive thing i've seen her buy is a pair of climbing shoes, or Touring car tickets.
If we stay together I know it'll all get spent on bikes/cars/holidays. Gotta love shared interests.

Nothing really.

She's a compulsive saver. As that is the opposite of my approach, it's a very welcome trait.

Same here.

We don't have any disposable income, so ...nothing.


If she had the money, it would inevitably be books, books, books.

She quite likes gadets, but she has all she needs in that respect, maybe some photographic stuff or expensive software like Photoshop.

My wife doesn't buy anything. She is a saverholic and really only seeing money building up in the bank makes her happy. She is desperate to buy a house and that's her only goal in life.  Which is a shame as I am happy where we are and I'd rather spend the money on enjoying life. the flat we have, we can easily pay off, where as buying the type of house she wants house = massive mortgage till I retire.

I think the OP meant things that she buys for herself, not for you

Clothes, jewellery, potting shed, gardening stuff, art.  Oh, and her pension.

ROOG

Like a few others here, mine spends very little, and very rarely criticises my spending.

Sometimes I wish she would buy herself something then I wouldn't feel so bad.

She even blames herself for our recent furniture purchase, two nice sofas, our first furniture purchase of this magnitude in 15 years.

Mind you if she started spending like I do we would go broke fairly quickly, so best she stays good!

Disappointed that no-one has claimed 'hookers and coke' yet.

Mine's not that fussed about rugby or fizzy drinks, to be honest.

The only thing that has been said so far that is comparable to our GAS is having horses. I can imagine our excuse for having a million different guitars and amps translates fairly easily into "I need 34 different saddles and brushes" etc.

Only difference being that a horse dies and isn't worth much to anyone besides Tescos at that point.

TTBZ

Handbags and dog stuff apparently.

Sarge

Very little, I've trained her well
her main outlay is wool and wool accessories (said in a Hank Hill accent) must be about £20 per month, but with that she makes her own shit, shawls, scarves socks etc.

Lodious

My wife does not like spending money, however my daughter has starting making noises about getting a horse. Holy s***...that is an expensive hobby. I had no idea that horse the drug is a lot less financially ruinous than horse the mammal. My daughter actually said without a hint of irony that stabling would 'only cost six thousand pounds a year if I help out at weekends'

Shite mostly she wastes her money on shite

Horses are more expensive than children they costs a bloody fortune
