Food. Kids’ school, clothing, etc. Cheap AliExpress microcontrollers to play with, tools, 3D printing gear, occasional music gear, a new Mac every four years. Have recently decided to not buy any more gaming consoles and just use Steam on beefy mini-PCs, so am budgeting for another four-year upgrade cycle (1080p gaming is fine today, 1440p should be perfect in two years, there is no reason to buy expensive games today when they’re on sale in two year’s time).
Would love to buy some top-of-the-line compute for my homelab and a few machines that just don’t exist yet and a house in a country town to retire to. None of that is ever going to happen.
Am in South Europe so my income is way less than it should be considering what I do for a living, have somewhat made my peace with that by just enjoying my free time.
