We are all aware of the cost that comes with being a fan of the SW/TB family's music, which is an expensive but rewarding obsession. Throw in all the other music we spend money on, and that sum multiplies.
However, I'm sure we all have other non-necessities of life which we save up for and which we find rewarding. What are yours?
Aside from spending my already measly savings on CD's/Concerts/Music collection, I have always had a passion to travel and save up as much as I can in order to fulfill my dreams of travelling to awesome places around the world. Admittedly, many of the places I've travelled to have not been solely financed by myself (which would be impossible considering I'm a high-school student without much means of income), but I've been able to pay for a nice chunk of my travels. The rest of the financing has come down to being lucky and knowing some rich friends who love to travel pretty much everywhere in the world and have been willing to take me along. Nevertheless, without some saving up of my own and without having friends living in different places across the world, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to go on half the trips I've taken. When I grow up I'd love to continue my passion for travelling and add to or revisit some of the cool places I've been blessed enough to go (like India, South Africa/Namibia, Philippines, and Turkey, for example), but for at least the next five years my concerns will probably be on paying for college, unfortunately.
Other than travel and music, there are things like sports events, good food, and movies that I spend some of my spare cash on, but yeah, travel has always been a biggie for me.
How about everyone else?
