Teens don't have the same required expenses. It is a lot cheaper being a teen.

It shows so clearly that indeed priorities change.
Adults end up sacrificing their fun moments and clothing passion for more valuable things, such as time (thus the car expenditures increase) .

Sorry .. can't related. I don't usually pass up something I want. I might delawy getting it a little bit or figure out a way to get it at a better price. But once something peaks my interest a trip, nice pair of shoes, cute new purse, an event... it is going to be mine sooner, rather then later !

Not me! No kids and a fun boyfriend. I make plenty of time for fun. Heck, I just spent Saturday night in a luxury hotel suite overlooking the falls.

One category is missing that would account for adult "fun"...

TRAVEL!

I easily would plunk hundreds down on a parasailing or ziplining adventure, or on dog sledding through Canada (on my bucket list). I cringe at paying over $20 to be "entertained" otherwise for a couple hours...
