Thanks guys for the honest advice!! I have a simple/modest lifestyle-i pack my lunch to work most days (i like to prepare/handle my own food), and go out occassionally. I am a bit of a home-body... I enjoy most nights in with friends -- I like to cook for friends, or have them over for coffee, argileh, and such. So im not really into the bar-hopping/drinking scene..

The only thing I can see myself SPLURGING on is a gym membership or maybe jitsu/defense classes at ABuAmerican's gym! haha...
