    Need to stop buying gun stuff

    I think being on calguns has a direct correlation with my excessive spending recently .. In the last two weeks I've spent around 160$ish on a new .22lr, 100$ on ammo, around 100$ish for optic and mount.. and I dont know how much $$ worth of ammo I've shot + range fees, targets, clay pigeons ..... Haven't had a job in months!!!!!!


    Not spending any money for the next few months!!

    Ah yes the joy of no kids to pay for, I haven't known that since I was 17.

      Wait, did you have your first kid when you were 17?

        Pick up smoking, it might be a cheaper habit to get into. I spent something like $1000 on accessories for my 3 new toys, plus some $200 on ammo, and I don't know how much on the miscellaneous stuff. All within the last month.

          1200+ in a month! I hope you have a good job! Sadly I am a smoker, it makes me sad to think about how much money I've wasted on cigarettes my entire life . I've always been very good with saving my earnings, just recently have been spending a lot more then usual

                At the beginning of the year until now, I think I spend over $10,000 on guns and ammo ... mostly guns.

                        Or even worse, how smoking is wasting your life.

                          Happily, I am a gun owner, it makes me both happy and sad to think of all the money I've spent on firearms, but especially happy to burn up that ammunition.

                            I have been unemployed for almost two years, going to college, broke and yet I still find myself looking though calguns guns for sale section. Is that a sign I have a problem?

                              When I joined Calguns a year ago I had 1 gun with 2 mags and 1 box of ammo. Now I have 20 guns. Plus about 10,000 rounds of ammo,3 safes, and tons of accessories.
