Spending Habits...
« on: July 14, 2004, 03:13:26 PM »
was just wondering how many albums/dvds etc you guys buy/download a week on average?

recently i've found myself buying more and downloading more than i have ever done in my life. the funny thing is that even when i have very little money i still manage to buy something, whether it be cheap vinyl on the net or an album from the local second hand shop...

do any of u guys have crazy spending habits?  8)

I've been buying a lot less DVDs recently, I probably buy like 1-2 per month.  I never download any movies anymore, I used to be obsessed with doing that though.  I buy CDs when good ones come out, so that might be like once a month on average.  Sometimes I might buy like 3 in one week though.  I download CDs constantly, maybe 5-10 albums a week.

I used to buy albums non stop. About everytime I went out somewhere, I brought a new CD home.

But music has been suckin' layelt, so I tend to buy more DVD's and clothes now than albums.

Oh and gas of course  ;)

I used to buy at least one CD/album a week, usually more than that. However, I haven't bought anything in a month or so because of working 2 jobs leaving no time.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

gas is a bitch. i gotta fill up with premium $2.69. so shit costs about 50-60 to fill up each time.. but ive stopped making trips to LA, so i can usually conserve my gas pretyt good.. i used to go to LA every weekend for shows and pop 60 dollars each trip on gas. hella wack.. and thats in addition to the concert ticket which is usually 40-50 bucks, plus extra food money and weed to smoke during the show and shit.. like easily over 130 in one weekend.. and this was going on like every weekend.

i spend a lot of money on weed i guess.. but its usually the money i get from profits/dealin. so its not really money is ee. just smokin the profits away..

and CD's... i very barely buy new cds.. and if i do buy cds, its always the older cds like pre 1996 to fill up my catalog of classics.. i almost never buy new cds that have come out.. they all pretty much suck and wont have that much replay value for me

and dvd's.. i used to buy a shitload when i was dealin, but now i never buy them. but i just bought russel simmons presents The Show..

i was able to save a large amount of money last year from dealin, and the best advice i ever got was not to spend it, cos money just makes more money.. im basically still living off all the money i made off last year.. and i still have over half of it.. .

yeah and food. i live on my own, and dontk now how to cook food. and never go to the supermarket, so i always go out to eat. so that shit gets pretty costly. easily 10-20 bucks a day on food.

ive pretty mcuh limited my spending habits to shit that is straight essential for me.. ive foudn that many of the things i buy, i end up auctioning off on ebay a few months later..  so im pretty good at limiting what i buy now..

i just bought a fat 51" sony wide screen HDTV. from the money i made last year.. so im sittin fat.
