What Are Your Other Expensive Hobbies?


Recommended Posts

For me:

*Music - more specifically, playing guitar.

*Fountain Pens

Luckily for me, my dad picked up guitar a few years after I did, and has always loved fountain pens. When he gets interested in something, he goes like a bull at a gate.

Rum and Vino. Simple pleasures that go great with a cigar. Those 3 things are the only things I spend dough on. I still drive a '98 Montero Sport w/ no A/C. I could give a **** about those type things. Give me a few hours, relaxing with the wife or the fellas, smoking a good Cuban cigar witha rum drink or wine in hand and Im all smiles.:-D

GOlf is a big one and gambling use to be everything. But I wouldnt call it a hobby anymore. I am 34 and if I never started gambling my accountant tells me that by the age of 30 I could of retired with over a million in the bank just from installing floors.

Wine for me as well, though part of the fun is finding the more obscure wines

that are a good value - until they're found out.

As for guitars, my favorite is my 1981 Les Paul Standard, which I bought brand

new. The cliche - "they don't make 'em like they used to" - definately holds true.

hobbies?

My wife and I are DINKS (double income no kids) and we both have good jobs and live beneath our means so hobbies (distractions) as long as they are reasonable are not a problem. We are both spendthrifts when it comes to certain things. Basically it's Christmas everyday.

We canoe trip, backpack, show bull terriers, and travel.

This spring we're thinking about purchasing some motorcycles.

I want a Triumph Speedmaster, not quite sure what bike the wife wants yet.
