I posted this on Agoraquest.com a few weeks ago and wanted to see what fellow DP'ers spend on Electronics last year. I spent about $4,000 last year. Some people in the poll spent over 10,000 last year. http://www.agoraquest.com/pollBooth.php?pollID=20
I dont even think I could track all of my electronic purchases throughout a year. It seems as if almost every week im going to Best Buy, or Microcenter and leaving with something that needs to be plugged in. Not to mention, I have an IT company, so I'm constantly spending money there...Ive never actually tried to think about how much money I spend on electronics...a disgusting amount. haha, but they are oh so fun, I am 26 and I still open things sitting at the stoplights when leaving the store.
I don't think I really bought anything this last year. Due to prices skyrocketing I just decided to try and save money. I'd say last year was pretty good to me as I wasn't struggling as bad as some Americans were.
Easily well over 10k: 50" TV 27" TV 2 computers 3 monitors (30" and 2 x 22") Wii PS3 SLR camera Video camera 2 cell phones Lots of accesories for the TV,computers,Wii and PS3 including: Logitech G15 keyboard Logitech G7 mouse Fingerprint scanner Bamboo tablet (3 - one for each kid) $220.00 monster powerbar for the TV High def Shaw box Lots of other stuff I can't even recall, but my wife found a box with FutureShop receipts from the last year and there were 187 of them.
With your tax refund checks and Tax check coming in May. I'm sure people will buy more electronics. The questions is how much or will people use it to pay their bills and credit card debit. Knowing me I will probably go to Best Buy and buy some more electronics. You can't have too much. Claudio
I spent $1500 for my pc and cellphone last year. Hmm, I think that's all the electronics I bought last year.
