I've bought a nice new AV amp. It's only an extravagance in that I've also bought a new bed this month and bits for my car, meaning that I couldn't really comfortably afford it. It's very nice, though.

The jobs I had as a teenager
like working as a trapper for the gun club (the trapper pulls back the clay pigeon spring and when the arsehole with the gun shouts "pull" you let fly). I only got the job because the previous lad had his teeth knocked out by the mechanism.

ALt Q: My house. I saved hard for 10 years and went from having lots of cash in the bank but no assets, to having no money in the bank, large debt and part of one asset.
