@Mendalla and I started a discussion on another thread about buying 45 rpm records back in the day, and it sparked a memory of getting a dollar a week to go nuts with. I usually ended up at Woolworths and always found something I wanted. Once, my best friend and I decided it would be a fine luxury to blow the works (she had her own dollar) and get a hot roast beef sandwich at a restaurant. It was worth it. Later, a dollar would buy a '45 at the record store, so that's what my allowance went for (the first being the Beatles). A dollar was not much even then, but I was a lazy, unenterprising thing and passed up many chances to earn more... Forget the raspberry picking.
Saving was out of the question!
I acknowledge that I was lucky.
So if you were lucky enough to have spending money growing up....
What did you spend it on?
If you didn't get an allowance, how did you improvise your wants?
And to take it further, should you choose; what would you spend it on now, allowing for inflation of course?
