My spending habits in RPGs have changed somewhat over time, possibly due to the changing nature of the RPGs I've been playing. In the past, I used to buy lots of healing items, largely because I often relied on them for party maintenance after battles. Of late, I've been spending less on potions etc. as a result of relying on magic to heal my party, as well as using tents/inns more often. This frees up more money to be invested in buying better equipment for my party (which I almost always do when the opportunity arises). But I still stock up a bit on status healing items since status effects can be quite bothersome during battles. I rarely bother with purchasing offensive items like bombs, wands etc. because they tend to be quite weak compared to what most of my characters can do. Either that or they're just too expensive to be worth the while.
If the RPG allows it, I will certainly save up to buy a horse/wagon and a house. Horses are great for quick transport while horse wagons allow you to hoard treasure. Houses have useful storage functions, too. Plus it's always nice to have a plot of land you can call your own and establish as your HQ. I also remember purchasing a ship in one RPG (specifically Ultima VII) for easy sea travel. The neat thing about the ship was that it had a storage hatch I could dump extra treasure/battle spoils in. Very useful when you're low on supplies whilst visiting hostile/foreign lands.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
I think therefore I am... I think.
