how much have you spent hobbying this year

[justfor]

Too much! lol.. But then and again, it is worth every penny!

 

[georgetoronto]

Spent more than I should, but had such a great year in stock market, a lame excuse.
got to cut back to 5K level.... limit any of the 3 (money+opportunities+desire) will achieve it..

 

[Barney Rubble]

Probably under $1000. I've picked my spots and gone cheap where I could. Although I suspect 2018 is going to require a budget adjustment.

If this thread is a real indication, I must be extremely addicted or maybe just a high sex drive.

Plan for next year is to cut way way down.

Perhaps a better way to phrase the question might be "what % of your gross income have you spent on SPs this year?"

KK

Or have a lot more money that most of us.

Good luck bro, I've been saying the same thing for the last 15 years. :help:

 

[lighthouse boy]

somewhere between $3500-4000 but i get a good exchange (and also work OT hrs so it did not effect my monthly budget).

 

[JaimeWolf]

I've spent a little over 3k this year hobbying

no regrets

You need to add a poll to the thread.

$0.00 on hobbying but $600 taking my SO to Oasis this past year.

 

[Mr.Dan]

maybe 1k

Best post to date is,"More than I should. Not as much as I'd like to." <So true.

Slow business week so I crunched my numbers for 2017 (accountant by trade so forgive me).
On one MA, SPs and SBs just over 16k for fees/rates, May was the highest at 2.6k (Spring fever). Dancers 1k (ish)
Gifts 2.5k. lunches/dinners/hotels with my SBs 1.7k.
Total is about 19.5k if you don't include costs shared with SBs of lunches/dinners/Hotels (yet still a cost to hobbying) so IMO a total of 21k (ish).
Had a good year but too much, will not repeat that this year.

So far for 2018 $0.00 ! not bad for the first 7 days of the year :biggrin-new:

The unfortunate part is that it won't last much longer, the little brain will be begging for some fun and the big brain will just give in.

 

[godfazha]

Your money will be money well spent wellungone. The experiences you will have in this hobby will enrich your life, I have no doubt about that. I hope your journey will be as fun as mine.

LOL! Hey, me too!

On a semi-serious note, some long-time favourites of mine have retired (Jayden, Trinity, Jessica...) so it will be easier to spend less going forward unless I can fill out the rotation.

 

[radagast]

About $5k, down significantly from 2016. "Real life" kept intruding, in a good way.

 

[purTERBed]

Counting SB's? In 2017 spent more than I've made in most previous years.
I'm gonna have to rethink my lifestyle.

 

[D-Fens]

In 2017 I spent exactly $2680 which works out to $223 a month. The most I've spent on the hobby since 2014. I don't know how much I'll be spending this year, we'll see what happens. Over the years I have ranged anywhere from 1k to 4k a year on the hobby, All depends on how I am feeling and what is going on in my life.

 

[thumper18474]

in 2017 I spent "0"..not by choice...(serious medical issue)
might drop a grand or 2 before I leave for a month ( Hawaii beckons me) but we'll see
might just wait til I get back so I'm fully recharged and then go balls out!...LOL
