Hah, mostly rating. People I see with cool outfits, who are polite, ect. Actually, even though it doesn't get them a bonus anymore and is almost pointless, I still enjoy pos-rating someone and saying "Hi!
 " through the rate-message box instead of normal speech, because even though it probably doesn't, I delude myself into thinking they'll be complimented and it will make them happy. Oh, and of course my land-tier.Most recently, Francis Chung's cool new car. Before that, some clothes because I didn't want to try to make my own again. And before that, Alondria LeFay's "SLAmp". Cadroe, "Where's my pineapple?!?"  _____________________

Most of mine is spent on uploading fees for textures. I generally make 20-40 textues a week which takes most of my stipend to upload.
Whatever is left gets saved until I can afford some new clothes. |

Ordered in terms of L$ spent...
I spend my money on... 1. Avatars / avatar accessories (CLOTHES!) 2. Animations (Sex balls? Who, me? *blush* Er, I'm looking at those dance animations! ... Really!) 3. Pre-made scripts (Well-scripted items) 4. Textures (rarely) 5. Services (rarely) Never on: 99. Weapons (Have bought only one in my entire time in SL) 99. Sound files (Never) 99. Vehicles (ground / sea / air) (Never) |

I upload textures I find and sounds I engineer. Recently I bought a skin, hoping to switch from the default beige plastic look to a default textured beige plastic look. I make the vast majority of content I use. That's why I like SL so much. =)

I like to buy weird and unsual things. I don't buy a lot of clothes because I make my own and my style is really different than what most other designers make. Though I find pieces to complement my style from time to time. hehe.. Mostly, I'll buy something I run across that catches my fancy at that time.

I guess I'd fall under number 8. All my money goes to Tringo/Quintzee pot donations, and prizes for the events I run.
Anything left over gets converted to US$s.  _____________________

Uploads, Land, Snapshots... the odd fundraiser or donation to this that or the other.
Hardly buy anything in SL as the appeal that drew me was making stuff. When I do buy something its usually something whacky that appeals to me - or to encourage the person who made something new and nifty. Thats bout it really... People sometimes drop clothes on me, but I'm very comfortable in my 'I <3 Dorks' T shirt and faded torn jeans - I 'dance on the inside' with a can of beer usually and Djinn don't have repro organs.... so that don't leave a heck of a lot of mainstream stuff to buy Siggy. _____________________

Two things really:
Land - I've always had a weakness for buying odd bits of land then either selling them for tupence or giving them away. Enormous sums of money fall through this rabbit hole. Tier - Fate Gardens pays its own monthly tier fees. It holds only as much land as sales will support. So I guess this is kind of like land too so just one thing really. _____________________

I buy very little in SL. I use what little money I earn in game to pay to play and for my recently downsized land tier.

if I see something lovely I think a friend may like I buy it for them and I occassionaly buy some outfits and I will always 'vote with my dollar' by buying something from someone or somewhere that I feel has made my SL experience better, even if I don't need it or it isn't the greatest quality, I know I feel happy when someone buys my stuff! oooh and tips!!!!

Upload fees. I never get it right the first time
Also clothes cause I suck at textures. I buy lots of clothes, basically, it I don't have it or forget I have it I buy it. Quality preferred, style optional (what DOES match pink bunny slippers anyway?) |

My L$ are spent on :
1. investments in / for my store ( almost daily ) 2. uploading textures ( also almost daily ) 3. Pixeldolls clothes ( once a month or so, I *try* to refrain myself ) 4. hair/skins/makeup ( once every 2 months ) Hmm looks boring now that I see it like that _____________________
