This is getting Expensive

[epic1856]

wow, I just did a tally of how much I've spent at Triple B's and reloading. I'm over $1,000+ YTD.



I should have picked a cheaper hobby.

Don't forget that sweet Ceasar G shotgun you just picked up.

I tell my daughter I'm spending her inheritance. She is mad at Jordan for this because he is the one that got me hooked. Don't worry, give Jordan all the blame but you have all the fun!

Shooting is unique among the hobbies I've had in that the day-to-day costs quickly outpace the capital expenditures. Case in point: $1000 for ammo and targets in <4 months vs a $4000 (or less!) gun. Photography is expensive but once you've got the gear your "operating expenses" are very small by comparison. Skiing is expensive, but season passes make it not so bad. Although the potential costs to your health and mobility have a higher probability.

Agree with the statements about racing and sailing. Remember the old adage: if it flies, floats, or ****s, it's cheaper to rent it.

There are "more expensive" hobbies for sure, but shooting is just painful in that you spend a bunch of money on ammo and it's gone before you know it...

I try not to think about it to much. I'm in the same boat you are. Over $1000 YTD LOL...

Cheap hobbies suck! As long as you are enjoying and can afford it, bust em! I try not to add up money spent on my hobbies....if I did, the Harley $$$ would send me into shock

[hcbr]

multiple hobbies = multiple expenses, each hobby has it's requirements, thus your $1000 is justified...

Cheap hobbies suck!

+1 Billion! If you can't afford a good hobby... ya need a better job mate.

Back on Topic...

I've spend well over my allowance this year on just this hobby alone. I think I am in the hole until June...

my other hobby is salt-water reef tanks, which can be expensive. My friends don't understand when I tell them that salt-water is my cheap hobby.

Double it when your second half is part of the expense equation.

Lord, thank you for my fishing addiction and sea sickness.
