What do you sacrifice so you can Hobby more?

I have a decent job and have a reasonable amount of income for entertainment. But I have found that in order to Hobby as much as I want to I have had to sacrifice other things I like to do for entertainment.

For example, since I started Hobbying, I no longer make Casino trips. Nor have I been to any Poker rooms around Dallas playing cash games. I also have virtually eliminated hanging out at the Titty Bar with my buddies. Heck, I even eat more meals at home instead of eating out all the time.

So, anyway, just wondering what the other guys have sacrificed for the Hobby.

Let me see what have I given up.
Moved from expensive southren california where I saw 1 provider or 2 a month to cheap texas.
No more screwing people for money I have seen on TV or concert stages, to a bartender at a strip club or a wannabe cowboy cheerleader

I really don't skip out on much. I guess I just have been fortunate over the years to have a decent income with relatively low expenses. Oh, and a 2nd job doing some consulting work on the side really helps with my hobby funds.

I have heard of guys that get second jobs to hobby. That's insain!
Fewer visits to strip clubs=quality over quantity
I really don't consider it sacrificing, I just make adjustments...so maybe I don't go to the bar/club/casino/etc. with the guys every weekend. To me the reward is sooo much sweeter (and sometimes naughtier).

I retired a year ago so I live modestly (economy car, medium priced apartment, and manage money carefully). I have little debt so I can still afford to spend about 25% of my income on the hobby!

I quit going out for lunch everyday unless the company is paying for it. I bring my lunch and I can eat in about 10 minutes. Then I have 50 minutes to close the door and take a nap. So really its not a sacrifice as I do love my naptime.

Gave up buying sex-toys for the wife.
Money in exchange for hot, tight and WILLING pussy. Some men continue to enjoy hot, uninhibited sex with their wife. Others fall into it being deemed another "chore" right up there with another load of laundry, walking the dog before bed or Saturday Night Live. I like the variety of another woman, different pussy, differently-shapd tits and ass and, most importantly, a completely different personality. You might love having sex with the same woman for 20 years but every now and then getting to park the sedan and ride a Corvette makes the heart race and the mind sharpen.

Oh, wait, you meant "sacrificed" as in "reduced spending money on."

Never mind.

Hercules that was the best response ever!! LMAO

I've had this discussion with clients and providers. I was absolutely SHOCKED last year when I discovered that a friend I have known for years was spending over 200,000 a year on providers. I had known for a long time that he was seeing myself and about 4 other girls on a pretty regular basis. But I was appauled at the actual figure when he told me. I understand the necessity.... I am just as bad as most of the guys on here when it comes to playing with men or women but the reality starts to set in when you keep track and the actual figure is substantial.

So I guess the question is really when is it too much? Give up a few dinners and eating at home isn't so bad. Not going out to a bar and killing your liver is probably better in the long run. But at what point should you draw the line and be happy with the quality of the fun and not the amount you participate?

Saty Safe and Have FUN!
