Along with the normal bagillion dollars on bills, I just dumped $500 on my birthday party (nov. 26th) $200 on my daughter's birthday (dec. 1st) and a crapload on my civic that still sucks and misc. parts for the integra ($200ish)
But I bought a tree ($40) and a stand ($12), because I'm sick of the stand that I used to have and already have everything else (lights, decorations, booze) so setting up for christmas was easy and cheap this year.
Now, all the mad $$ I'm going to blow on crappy presents for my gigantic family could have been used for a GSR swap for the hatch, which in turn would suck alot less.. But Noooooo.. Its going into a bunch of half-meaningless presents that will be used for two weeks and forgotten. Unless they are diamonds. Those get "used" alot.
