It could be worse.

I could have gotten into boating. Expensive fuel, expensive annual fees for the slip or the launching ramp, expensive annual tags for the boat trailer...

I know some knitters who spend more on craft supplies than I do on food and gas to the trail. Fanatics who get exotic critters that require exotic foods. Fanatics who acquire radio equipment.

Don't even get me started on guns. I was briefly considering a conceal carry...

A time share?

A cruise every year?

My equation is a little more complicated. I put the money I save into retirement.
