hobby money

[Sam Taylor]

You miss a major point of his. It's not just how to fund it, but also to sneak it by his wife. If he dropped cable, I'd imagine his wife would notice.

How about putting a few bucks a week away..That will add up fast enough.Having a man sell his stuff is not the best idea its more sad then fun that way.

I respectfully disagree.

You and I may have the "disposable income" to hobby at our leisure, but guys on a tight budget need pussy too!

There are a lot of guys that have to save up for these adventures, for some it probably makes the experiences even better because it took them time to save up and they took a lot of time to do the research and choose the right lady for them. When the big day arrives, it's like "Happy Birthday to Me"

When I was new to the boards I didn't understand why some guys made such a big deal about qualifying their appointments because for me I was doing this a few times a week and if a less than stellar session was mixed in here or there it was no biggie. Then a guy commented about how he only was able to hobby 3 or 4 times a year and literally would put 20 bucks a week away until he had the funds.

For this guy, it was very important that he choose the right lady for his "quarterly" session... made sense to me after reading that.

Sell your Iphone get a tracphone, cancel cable, start buying store brand olive oil (Shop-rite and Stop and Shop are actually quite good...lol), check under sofa cushions.....you get the drift.

How many expenzive electronic gadgets do you have ? Xbox, etc etc.....EBAY all that shit. Get a night job...whatever it takes to keep pussy in your life....your life depends on it

Farmer you work for the state. Apply for a position where you need to travel. You will travel on per diem, stay in cheap hotels, eat cheap and pocket the difference between your per diem and actual expenses, as well as the difference between what they reimburse for mileage and what your gas costs.

I can travel between my home and my client's office in Stamford, CT, it is 135 miles one way, 2 round trips @ 0.555/per mile = $299.70 I can find the .30 extra in the couch. LOL

If you really want to do something, and you think wisely about it, you will find the cash-flow. Might just need to spend fewer bucks on other things, while also looking for the bargains that are around.

This Hobby is better suited for People that do not have to wonder How to get the money together.

Damn...admin should sticky this....too funny

 

[cnqaus]

In your situation I'm wondering if selling any of your "guy stuff" might work... old golf clubs or sports equipment, band equipment, etc. Stuff she doesn't use and wont miss.

Even if it's something she knows you're selling because it will be obvious when it's gone... If you sell something she knows about for $150, just say you got only $50 and stash away the difference.

Also, stash your money in different spots so if one is uncovered you will not lose it all... and of course if she finds it, have a story already prepared about how you were saving it to buy her something special!

Hit the Streets Old school style..2 for 5's will get you there in this economy lol.

 

[SlsB]

Haz-Exactly correct. A hobby is a hobby and as such costs some bucks. By limiting other expensives, folks can develop a nice cash-flow for the hobby. Also, in my humble opinion, many superb choices are available with a limited cost factor associated with them. The reviews on this Board prove that.

Tough when you have a tight budget and a wife that knows or oversees a lot of the expenses. I have neither so no one is paying attention to what I spend. I meant to say I have a wife, but she has no idea where money goes. Not everyone is an entrepreneur. By the way, nice slam on the state workers and our "socialist admin". Go to the politics threads for that.

 

[pilacomosi]

That is a sad story. I feel for you. Start your own business and when it gets large enough to sustain your livelyhood, ditch the dead end bullshit state job. You will need to work very hard ( something state workers are not accustomed to do ) very long hours and very smart. You will reap the benefits. Of course this socialist admin will try to take most of it away from you but in time that will change. This way you will control your own income and expenses and the sky is the limit. If you are willing to take the risk and do these things you WILL succeed and then hobbying becomes a fringe benefit. Stay healty and follow your dreams, I am very glad I did. As for the details of how to find $ for the hobby, well that is totally relative to your income. Generally I don't like to spend more than 2x what I make per hour but have spent as much as 3x for a very special lady.

Where there ia a will-you will find a way!

 

[Skyhawk]

How much do you pay for cable ? ($100 / month)

How much do you pay for smartphone data access ? ($70 month)

How many times do you get takeout a month ? ($ 100)

There are many, many places even a person with modest income can shave to have more for what's really important...unless watching Jersey Shore Season III is what you really want to do...lol

It's a hobby, and hobbies cost money. I do most of the grocery shopping in our house and seem to be in the store several times a week. Use the debit card to pay, get cash back (a 20), now and then, and it adds up. Squirrel it away in a safe place until the stash becomes enough to play, and viola. That, and side jobs, or when some reimbursement check or something else comes in, deposit all of it but 20 to 50 and keep the cash. The key is not to make big ATM withdrawals.
