adamlikesmusic Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Still living at home, but my parents don't mind. I'm still saving money for school, and since I'm not the type to go shopping every day, or eat out every meal, I end up with extra money. I'll generally use it on music, or just add more to my savings. When I'm at work, my parents usually text me if I get any packages (even who they're from).

forgeagain Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 $400 on a purse? That's chump change. There are people who spend $2000+ on purses. That's more money than you'd ever theoretically put IN the purse. Completely retarded, if you ask me. I'm not a big fan of expensive records either. I've never paid more than $40 for one and certainly don't plan to. I usually won't even buy new stuff in stores because it's too expensive ($18 for a new LP? BOGUS). Spending $100 on a variant of a record you already have multiple copies of is really no better than spending hundreds of dollars on purses and clothes and other stuff like that. Different stokes for different folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmythescumbag Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I live at home while I am in school, and my folks don't mind my habit/hobby. I do think they get irked when I am broke but still getting packages every couple days, but they don't give off any direct signs of it.

Different stokes for different folks. True, but my wife has four or five of those purses. And I agree that paying big bucks for every color variant is silly. That's why I don't do it.

akross Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My wife also collects records, so she doesn't complain about mine. She just doesn't like the music on a lot of them is all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melikecheese Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I think my girlfriend thinks its cool and thinks it makes me cool or something. Little does she know...but she likes geeks and that I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytumult Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My stepmom didn't understand it when I lived at home. I explained to her many, many times that they still make records, but she's positive they stopped making them in the '80's. As for girlfriends, I've only had one girl in my almost 28 years that was thought it was cool. The day I gave her her birthday present of every Vandals record I could find was a good day. A VERY good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afsdan Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 my girlfriend likes music, and has a nice pile o' vinyl. She's even bought a few that have interrupted my own collections (holy mountain, kylesa, jucifer.) She's more picky about what music she listens to, so I have a much larger record shelf. We listen to our entire collections over the wintertime (it takes months!). It's a nice thing to do when it's cold out, and we'll end up making a small pile of stuff to get rid of.

geekrawker Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My Fiance gets a little upset when i let her know i just got another vinyl, but if they are colored, and a limited pressing she is cool w/ it because she can see it as more of an investment.

patrickemmons Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I used to collect urban vinyl toys - like kidrobot stuff. My wife hated that, I would spend lots of money on them and she thought it was stupid. Now I've gotten back into vinyl records after finding some records I had back in high school and my wife is all about it, but she just doesn't understand the whole collecting variants thing.

Guest naytoid Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My girlfriend enjoys seeing all the new ones that come in and also listens to them with me, it's great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I don't even know if my girlfriend has said anything about my collection. To be honest, I don't think she's noticed it yet (which just means it needs to be bigger, amirite?!) but it's a fledgling relationship. My friends either are great at giving me lip service or actually really like my records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon720 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My parents just say I'm wasting my money. Which I am, because I'm usually to lazy or busy listen to them. Plus my record player is in my room without a TV, internet, other stuff to do while listening...which is a big bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My parents actually supported it. They bought me my first player, and gave me giftcards to the local store when I first got into it. Now when records go to my parents house (old preorders or me putting wrong paypal shipping info) my dad will go home on his lunch break to make sure they are in the house if I'm too busy to make it over. My parents know I am really smart with my money, so until I am scrapped for cash I don't think they'll say much. The chick I used to kinda date used to like to listen to them, but she didn't care for them either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicdogbert Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My boyfriend doesn't care about the amount of music that I buy. We don't live together and we're responsible for each of our own finances. He's not big on music so it doesn't effect him in any way. He just makes fun of the fact that I buy so much music. I think that he's somewhat impressed with my record collection because it's so excess. But he can't get on my case about it because he knows I'll get on his case about the amount of electronics he buys (he's a gamer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zak138 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 nope. we've combined collections and its been awesome. Honestly, I hope you keep good tabs at what is actually yours. I've had two friends combine collections with their girlfriends and both of them got screwed out of really good shit that they bought before they even met their girlfriends. The whole thing was just a headache. I'm not saying you guys are going to break up, but you never know what the future holds. I'm married and I still keep my records seperate.

alphajerk Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 My gf does kinda roll her eyes when i pick up records all the time. However her eyes get wide and she is amazed when I pull out a record I've had for a long time and tell her it just went for $150 on eBay. she has a shoe fetish so i think she understands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
