In time (but not playing):
Probably hundreds of hours configuring and tweaking LFSLapper insim application.
In relationships:
My marriage (at least it contributed towards the breakup as I spent so many evenings on LFS rather than communicating (i.e. watching telly) with my wife.
Edit:
Just blown £1,723 pounds on order for new pc, monitor and 3d glasses.
Monitor: Asus 23" 120 Hz
PC: i7 930, 3 x 2Gb Ram, 2 x 1Tb disks, Nvidia GTX480, Blu Ray
Nvidia 3d glasses.
Money came from combination of annual bonus (pitiful), selling 230 shares (bought at £7 each , and sold at £5.36! Price still dropping after I sold.), some birthday money from my sons, and the remainder on my credit card.
As an aside: wonder what porn looks with 3d glasses?
License: 1500 CZK (was a shameless wallet rape by some company selling them here back then) = ~60€
Wheel = 2800 CZK IIRC = ~120€
Better PC to have more than 20 FPS with cockpit view = 8000 CZK = ~320€ ...new screen, mouse etc. not included.
Those are things i remember. I might or might not spend some more.
License: Some months negociation with the other half.
Wheel: Sneaked it in, but that cost me about 2x price of the wheel in leather (shaped as handbags and shoes) - no fair trade.
