Am I Crazy Or Seriously Addicted

[Big Daddy]

Well our trip to erie pa is just 1 week away and after many emails to a local hobby shop there i have my kits and supplies all picked out that i want and being on hobby lobby web site i have a wack of stuff there i want also, plus a few other places to get stuff, i've been saving up for almost a year and have 800.00 would this much spent be considered crazy or addicted to the hobby or a little of both

[JunkPile]

You are crazy and also seriously addicted. But it's just so much fun!

[MAGNUM4342]

If you live on an island or somewhere far from civilisation then no, it's not crazy you're just stocking up. It would only seem crazy if you lived in a well populated area like Ontario Canada or some place like that. Oh! Uh...wait a minute...

I don't think it's crazy, as long as you have a roof over your head, healthy food to eat and the bills are getting paid.

It's a hobby that you love!

I've spent twice that amount on one bare cylinder head for our 2.3l turbo Mustang!

[JamesW]

Nah, not crazy at all. If you're getting stuff that you can't find where you live then it's all good. You've been saving for almost a year, it's not like you took 1 whole pay check to spend.

I agree, I don't think you are crazy. There are other hobbies where people spend a whole lot more money than that. Spend your money and have fun !

[george 53]

Nope, your NOT crazy, an it IS your money! I take about 250 to the two toyshow/swap meets I go to twice a year. Sometmes I make out great,and spend MOST of it, sometimes I bring it back home, but EVERY time I go, I have a GREAT time. I agree with Wayne, as long as your REAL obligations are taken care of, the rest is up to you,HOW you spend your hard earned money.

Exactly. I spent just over $2000 from 1/1/12-2/1/12, not on just plastic, but it was for kits/supplies and aftermarket stuff for my 1:1. But my bills were paid first.

Yeah, it's an addiction--but what an addiction to have, huh? Just think about it: ZERO calories, non-fattening, won't stunt your growth, no nasty hangovers the next morning, doesn't leave your teeth feeling all fuzzy; all the while guarranteed to be fun and frustrating all in the same breath! CAUTION: Any edible or otherwise ingestible additives may cause your results to vary from this warranty!)

Hmm, almost sounds like a formula for a long, happy life to me!

It's only money and you can't take it with you. Enjoy it and spend it while you're still around to do so.

I will again state what MrsG said shortly before our wedding.

" Order what you want honey, I'd rather have you sitting at the breakfast bar building a model, than sitting in a bar hitting on one."

It's all good Bro.

Just ask the RC guys what they spend some time. I think we are all seriously addicted or we wouldn't be on here!

If your hobby was boating or skydiving think what that costs. Or if you like to play with 1:1 cars $800 will get hardly anything. And yes, we're all seriously brain damaged here

[rel14]

bubble half,,, LOL

I thought it was just me

[1930fordpickup]

This makes perfect (cents) or should I say perfect dollars.

This is the money you are saving by not paying shipping cost.

You end up with more stuff and you know what you spend on your hobby , I have no idea how much I spend.

[Mercman]

Go for it. I do this also once a year when I go to the NNL North. I hit the shops in Mpls./St.Paul, and get stuff I cant get here locally.
