How do you pay for your addiction?

[dennishoddy]

Not all of us have endless amounts of cash around, so what are some of the sacrifices for your hobby?
I'll start with a few of mine!
I drive a ugly old 90 Honda Accord, i eat peanut butter and jelly about 4 times a week for lunch, i wear clothes till they fall apart, i don't buy anything out of the vending machines at work, I drink water(no soda), i fixed my wifes $200 hair dryer, i fixed the switch in the lamp, I don't buy cable or satelite tv!

So what are some things you do without?

Work lots of overtime, most in the middle of the night on a call out. Y'all enjoy your lights being on.

Well lets see. I usually further my addiction through my jobs quarterly bonus checks. I havent bought a new gun since april........oh wait i bought a new one to me today but how i did it was a i had a gun on layaway and i switched it for a much cheaper one and i got cash back! lol and i also sell guns i dont want or could do without to get another gun usually. I'm seriously thinking about getting a 2nd job.

Stay away from casinos.
No satellite or cable tv(I've never had either) maybe I'm missing out?
Wife with a good job
Work overtime when permitted
Don't do alot of impulsive buying
Wife would rather have a new gun rather than jewelery etc.
Usually pay cash rather than financing
I usually wear clothes, boots etc. longer than I should
Order water with meal.

I do extra house/yard work and animal upkeep to make life easy so the wife will pick up extra shifts. My job doesn't have the option for extra time.

Man, these rocks are getting expensive, sometimes, I'll go down to Admiral and find some dude to suc....

Wait, we're talking about guns?

I usually sell a firearm when buying another. Keeps me honest that way.

This is what I do, too. Also, if a piece in my collection hasn't seen any range time in a year, out the door it goes unless there's a sentimental attachment. IMHO, once a collection has reached a sufficient size and variety, it's silly to tie up any more funds in acquiring more firearms unless you're researching for a publication of useful data.

I agree, if its gathering dust, it gets traded/sold for something more interesting. But when I was younger it was a lot of O/T.

I stay single
You'd be amazed how much extra money you have when someone else isn't spending it for you!
