The most frivilous thing I can think of was buying several airline tickets in a single weekend due to missing flights and stuff.
I don't believe in debt........every month when my statement arrives I can't believe it!
I've been in debt for years, but it's all just cash-flow. I know I could've bought a car with the debit interest I've paid in that time but then I wouldn't have been able to do/get some of the things I have, sometimes because of need and sometimes want.
Most of the debt is probably gone into family stuff anyway, including helping out other members of my family who don't/didn't have access to credit of their own. I know I'm a sucker but money doesn't actually mean anything to me, just what it enables me to do.
While the debt does bother me, it's a compromise that I've 'had' to make to live my life as I have (for good or bad) and I'm lucky enough to have a light at the end of the tunnel with investments that will pay out at somepoint in the future. I know I can, long term at least, provide for my family which is about all that matters. The short and medium term could be a struggle though........meh, there's always the lotto!
