For people that enjoy any leisure activity in life, there is usually a monetary trade off attached to frequency and degree of one's enjoyment. For the guys, how hard is it to budget for hobby expenses? For the ladies, if you made more would you work less?

I have 90% disposable income, my budget exceeds my ability to perform.
For me, with my travel schedule for work and the fact that, on a good month, I may be home 5 days for the entire month, it's a million times more difficult to budget time.

Eating pussy is however, very under rated. Its the best of both worlds. Fat free, no carbs, burns calories, and the satisfaction level is over the top

Not hard at all to save money. I make a decent hourly wage and overtime is always available. 10 hours of OT a week covers my needs for the hobby.
