   Hobbies: The cost of entrance.
  I kind of forgot the point of starting this thread.  But I think it was along the lines of throwing caution to the wind when it comes to money and hobbies.  I don''t like sitting around the house bored as heck because I can''t afford to do something or try something new.  I am working, but my whole check has to go into the bank for a security cushion.  Since I have to make 3 loan payments, phone payment, credit card payment, and car insurance payments all in one month, there isn''t really any cash left over to do anything.  I was thinking of just saying what the hell and just do what I want, but then I would be digging a hole for myself.  But then I see that as a price on happiness.  I don''t like being bored because I don''t have the cash.   
  Depends on the hobby. If your hobby is building and exploding skyscrapers, then it''d be expensive.Now, if you were to do something like stained glass, it wouldn''t be that expensive... ;quote:Original post by TSwitch   Depends on the hobby.

Masturbating in public?;  One hobby you might enojy is learning guitar. You can by a decent acoustic guitar for about 125 dollars, and after that, it doesn''t really cost more than say, 5 bucks for a pick and some strings. ;quote:Original post by Raymondo  One hobby you might enojy is learning guitar.

How much does an electric one go for? ;  Coding is a cheap hobby, if you''ve already got the computer for it. You can check stuff out from the library too, reading is grand. Also, you can save all your garbage and make stuff out of it, like boats. ;quote:Original post by Zorodius  Also, you can save all your garbage and make stuff out of it, like boats.   What does that have to do with coding o_O?;quote:Original post by Zorodius  Coding is a cheap hobby, if you''ve already got the computer for it.

Tried it for a while, bored the hell out of me, so I moved on.  From that experience I learned that I don''t like sitting in one place for long periods of time.  I like to read, but then the sitting in one place thing causes problems.  I like to keep moving or else I''ll fall asleep.  Garbage boats?  Hmm, sounds interesting.  Your not talking about boats made out of chicken bones are you?
