At what price?

Average hourly rate is around 180-300.
Is there anything not hobby related that is about the same cost per hour or less that your willing to spend money on?

Absolutely.

Good scotch, good wine, good cigars; good company.

$700 bar tab with friends; $400 bottle of wine by myself the other day - a box of good cigars, a trip somewhere I enjoy...hell, I bought $200 worth of groceries for a homeless couple not log ago.

To each their own vices.

Top tier seats at a major sporting event.

Opening night box at the Met.

Dinner at many 5 star restaurants.

Shopping at the jewelry store.

And more.

All fit in the category of entertainment/indulgence. Just like time with a nice young lady.

So no, I do not consider many of them overpriced.

Airplane and flight instructor, Boat rental.

I love wine and a bottle of Thistle Gold ($1500 ) would be nice and a span session in an upscale span.

I also love cuban cigars ( 200$ each ).
Engineering synthetic weed ( over $1000 per once )

A good attorney... :-)

Tickets to a top tier performer's concert can be well over $500. My last concert (Madona) tickets were.

Pavarotti's last performance I saw prices for: $3,000 for about two hours. Sold out and scalpers were asking up to $8K.

^^^ Wow, that would have been great to see.

Peeble Beach, St. Andrews, Pinehurst, Augusta National, just to name a few.

Hot air balloon ride in the Black Hills, SD $275. Well worth it. A beautiful & tranquil time.

Among my bucket list items is a ride on the Zero G (vomit comet) scuba diving inNormandy and the Mayan Pools. Should cost a pretty penny

Just dropped $400 at the local gun show and expect to take a grand up to the Tulsa Gun show next weekend. Enjoyed the heck out of it.

It really is. Check out local balloon rallies--often they need extra help launching & retrieving--and sometimes they take up some volunteers as a thank-you ride.

Also check out the Albuquerque balloon fiesta--first weekend of October through the second weekend (9 days). Amazing, and a lot of opportunities for rides.
