The things we sacrifice for dvd

[Saruman]

1) a social life (haven't had a date in over a year)
2) booze (I'm in the midst of cutting down to getting drunk only twice a month)
3) cigarettes (trying to quit to buy more dvds)

I own about 78 dvds at the moment.

Money?

[rtatick]

A new car :( .

[therealjohng]

food...


It's worth it though.

[HeavyK]

1. Money
2. Having my parents pissed off at me and bitching at me for wasting my money. They're so old school. To bad i don't have the money to move out.

1) Haircuts - I now get my hair cut only after numerous slagging offs. If I'd get my hair cut, say, every fortnight in the past, now I get it cut once a month and spend the money I saved on shiny things.

2) Buckfast - I've had to cut down to one bottle a day.

3) Drinks with lunch - Now I just have nice, free, water.

4) Clothes - Every time I go clothes shopping now, I walk round HMV for several hours and end up buying nothing but DVDs.

I didn't spend much money on anything else in the first place (social what?)

[ReservoirDog]

I actually sacrificed buying DVD's to get myself a new Les Paul guitar. Once I hit a 100 or so essential DVD's in my collection, I feel I could make do by renting the rest of the way.

I used to go out 4 nights a week but I cut it down to 2 or 3 so that I can buy at least 1 dvd a week. My car is paid for so I don't have to worry about that. I eat light and cheap so food isn't a problem. And I shave my head so I don't have to worry about haircuts. :)

Steal or borrow them for a while to save money

oh wait did I say steal don't do that:eek:

oh on a side note dvd's should never cut into getting
laid or drinking those two always come first dvd's are a
close third (unless your drunk and you jerk off to porno
dvd's then that comes first)

[William_Shatner]

A house morgage.

467 titles.

I've sacrificed a lot. They haven't taken me away from my social life, though there wasn't much of one in the first place. But it did drown my savings for quite a long time

Agreed.

I haven't really sacrificed much for DVD. If I got money for a DVD but one of my friends calls up and says "Wanna go to ______" I'd vouch for that instead of a DVD.

[ZombieMonkey]

Just makeup, I used to buy way more than I needed, now I just get some more if I run out of something (which is pretty much never) Just one addiction to the other :)

[chasingbanky]

Its harder to quit buyin dvds than it is to quit drinking/smoking/tweaking etc, ect.

[DVDCollecter]

A Life, but that ended anyway when my 3 year old and 1 month old were born. So I figrued I have no life now, might as well enjoy movies then

957 titles.

[skanko]
