Funny you bring it up, Holly. Where I'm working now there is literally NO hobbying to be done. Instead of hobbying, I've been purchasing gold bullion for the coming apocalypse, nothing else about my spending has changed. In the months I've been out here, I've accumulated a hefty collection, most of which I am
certain would have been dropped on the ladies of Houston if I were still there. Kinda makes me wonder if I'd just pocketed half of what I spent, where I'd be in my savings and investments...
When I get back to civilization, I really need to figure out my hobbying budget. I pretty much had been spending whatever I felt like, but I can see now that I may have been overdoing it. Just a bit.
If I had to tally up my total expenditures, I'd put it in the neighborhood of $20k since my first trip to Boy's Town, with the majority of that spent in the past two years.
