Travel, gym, food, rent, nights out with my chick once a week, credit to call and kindle books. I don't spend much money and the older I get the less i feel like spending, it's interesting how I am ok in living a simple life, years ago I was all about becoming super rich.
What do you like to spend your Money on ?

The thing I most like to spend money on (when I can afford it) - is buying extra holiday leave from work.
Nothing is more fun than an extra day off work. And to me - something like that is worth much more than flash clothes or a flash car.
Time is the most important thing in the world to me.

Agreed. I'm not vested in any of his decisions because I already have my own issues & goals to deal with. Just an observation my peers and I had.

After university or some formal schooling, entry level work experience, networking outside of your immediate social circles, and hopefully some traveling, it's also important get a good feel for what they dislike in their mid-late 20's so that they can make the next big step in their lives. That's why I'm a big advocate of not going to graduate school right after an undergrad (especially an MBA) because that person is going to have less of a foundation to build off of.

I agree that too many people focus on saving and being lane while not enjoying their 20s
Blow and pros.
Travel, clothes, experiences, excitement.

My main discretionary spending vices are musical/recording/photography gear, but I've reached a point where my pile 'o gear is approaching hoarding levels and there's nothing more I really "need" to creative at this point. Love travel, just did a half month in Spain with my girlfriend in September, so I'm happy to be "back home" for a while. Mostly pouring money into my new retirement crib improvements!
1) Bills- Student loans, cell phone, etc.
2) Eating out or buying special groceries (i.e. Good cuts of beef, an entire fish freshly caught, certain cheeses, etc.)
3) Books & other self-improvement items
4) Health- Chiropractor, supplements, foam roller, lacrosse ball and soon massages
I've been taking a break from bud and alcohol so I've been saving a lot of money recently. I used to spend like around $50-$75 a week but that extra money has been put away to buy some new clothing when I put on some muscle.

I try to stay away from all unnecessary expenses and instead look at how much they are an investment in myself.
This means I don't have a TV, games console, car, etc because I don't see them as adding much long-term value to my life.
On the other hand I spend lavishly on investments in my body (healthy food, supplements, etc) and mind (books, courses and experiences).

I think there exists a kind of paradox on the forum: on the one hand what you say in the above (enjoying 20s), and at the other hand the desire to not be a slave in the 30s (so gotta work in 20s)
It's a complicated paradox. Or does it represent opinions that are too different?
I mentioned buying extra holiday leave earlier...
Well - I would buy even more leave from work. But where I work - you are supposed to have a reason (like a family event etc) as to why you want to buy unpaid holiday leave. So - I have trouble telling how big a deal it is with management when I come asking for more leave.
In some jobs - it is more relaxed - and in those situations I would probably buy the maximum amount of extra leave each year.
Still - I get plenty of leave as it is. And my working week is pretty short. So can't complain too much!

When I look at my history.. I spend a lot of money on entertainment.
I have almost no living expenses since its all currently covered. Aka I have a lot of money that goes toward eating out and going out.
I love trying new foods and going to restaurants in the area.
I spend a lot of money I beer an liquor.but I buy from stores instead of bars. I like to try a new drink almost every time I buy.
At bars I pretty much stick to yuengling and pbr. In not out to get drunk..I can game fine with just a buzz..and I'm not about paying 500 percent markup in alcohol
The rest of my purchases are from Amazon
I've bought weights, protein, games..everything there
Amazon prime is a godsend.
