Categories are:

1. Paintballs (by the case). 2
2. Paintball markers/equipment. 3
3. Jeans. 3 (PS, I get a lot of my clothing free or at a large discount, but I don't mind spending money to look and feel gooooooood)
4. Sports-wear. 3, see above.
5. Suits. 2, I have little need for suits.
6. Beer. 3. I'm picky when it comes to my drinks.
7. Gaming Consoles. 1, not much of a gamer.
8. Sunglasses. 3. It's insanely hard to find glasses for me, I have a rather large cranium.
9. Shoes. 3, but with the same PS as the clothes.
10. Cell-Phones. 2.

My answers are in the quoted text.

Thanks Guys.

Now, my next question is only addressed to people that have been kind enough to fill out the Questionaire so far (there are 10 of you.)

You just had your wages/income slashed. You now have 50% of the money that was previously available to you. You have to make cuts to make ends meet.

Please answer the questions again, and be realistic/truthful about the sacrifices you have to make. Identify your priorities and reset your expectations.


PS. Wihglah - I like your style! But like everyone else, you now have to make cuts. Imagine that you HAVE to buy these things within a time-frame, and are not able to wait until you can buy the best.

Hard to answer this one for me. If I had to make cuts, I'd find "alternative income streams". This has happened in the past.

1. Paintballs (by the case) - 2
2. Paintball markers/equipment - 2
3. Jeans - 2
4. Sports-wear - 1
5. Suits - 3
6. Beer - 2
7. Gaming Consoles - 1 (2 if you include PC gaming equipment in this category)
8. Sunglasses - 1
9. Shoes - 3
10. Cell-Phones - 2

I found it difficult to choose just one for a few of them as there are occasionally other factors to take into account when deciding.

Edit add:

V2

1. Paintballs (by the case) - 1
2. Paintball markers/equipment - 1
3. Jeans - 1
4. Sports-wear - 1
5. Suits - 3
6. Beer - 2
7. Gaming Consoles - 1 (2 if you include PC gaming equipment in this category)
8. Sunglasses - 1
9. Shoes - 3
10. Cell-Phones - 2

Again, other factors would come into play depending on how much business, exercise, partying, paintball would be influencing my life at that point. I'd have a 2.5 for stuff that I wouldn't skimp on, so I'd pay for it even if it's expensive factoring in how useful it is to me in accomplishing the purpose for which it was intended (and maybe looks), but not simply because it's the newest or hottest (eg. cell phone)

This is the closest i could answer cause the real answer would be i would get the monies that i needed how i could, so everything would stay the same. But the most important thing would be my marker, my phone, the rest can come and go as they please.

3 to all of theses.
Even if for some, what I want is not always an expensive thing.

Better having less good thing than lots of crap

All of this are personnal choice any way.
