I'd say I have increased spending interfandom. Seeings as I went to AC and got two commisions this year, prior years I hadn't bought anything, but figuring it was 10 years, probably past due to give something back.
That and I actually feel financially secure at the moment, but that is probably because I was so frugal in previous years. I mean, kind of went against Bucktown's advise of "You can live for now, or live for later, and you're not guaranteed later." Which is true, as this week definately has shown, but it is a gamble. The faster you can pay off your debts the more you'll have to spend on yourself (or donate to others) later, you just have to have a lot of patience.
