Spinoff: What did you spend your money on as a kid?

Related to the tooth fairy thread, obviously. It made me think about what I did with the money from gifts, chores, and the like before I had any vices or women to chase.
I think I spent all of mine on CDs, video games (and rentals), and stupid prank shite.
What about y'all?

Fishing tackle. The lure aisle at wal-mart was almost as fun as the river bank

beer and cigs

CDs mostly. Some video games, occasionally. Though, I preferred to rent video games to save money for music.

Probably video games and baseball/basketball cards.

paintball gear. Not saying it wasn't fun, but an expensive phase I went through.

CDs mostly. I had this old lockbox from my grandma that I'd save my money in for "big" purchases, but my parents would usually help out and match or give me the little extra I needed once I got to a certain amount.

Banked it until I was about 12. Then I started spending some on pot and beer. I ripped off everything else I wanted.

Young kid me would spend money on toys.
Later on, baseball cards, use it at the arcade, or to sometimes pizza hut and places like that we could ride our bike to.
I made pretty good money cutting gas beginning at age 12.

Oh yeah definitely paintball shite too. I still have it all though. Spyder and autococker are in the garage. Haven't shot them in 10+ years though.

I think I made $150-$200 a week mowing lawns during the summer starting at age 11, up until I could actually work. I have no fricking idea how I wasn't able to save most of it.

Me and a few of my amigos pooled our birthday money together when we were 12 and paid the 15 year old down the street to show us her boobs. Best $50 we ever spent.

Baseball cards

Video Games, matchbox/hot wheels cars, HO train stuff, Green Army men, candy.

Baseball cards and I still have everyone of them. A 6-ft. tall gun safe full. Complete sets from the mid-50s to date.
In my day, you got 10 cards and that Bazooka gum for a nickel (Topps). Problem was, by the time the final series came out, all the stores thought since baseball season was over there was no need to order late in the summer. We missed out on the last series year after year.
When I got to a point I could rub two nickels together I'd buy the missing cards to complete the set. Since about 1970 I've ordered two sets every year and I'm saving for my grandkids. I only buy Topps.
When we were kids, Fleer would come out with a limited set but it came nowhere near the quality of Topps.
The above was contingent on us finding that nickel.
