I still haven't got a dishwasher or a washing machine (I'm not complaining, I just don't have room and I manage very well without them.)
I have reached the age when I really don't want anything material, just books and CD's so I spend a good half of my income on travel.
I don't go into shops, other than the supermarket for food and wine. I have never set much store by possessions, even when I had a high income. I did accumulate some good jewellery when I worked for a generous millionaire, but I have given it all to my daughters and grand-daughters, apart from one ring. I feel things tie you down and what I have always wanted more than anything else is freedom. Oh, the relief of not being married and not having to account for my movements to anybody.
How much do you spend on yourself?
