[QUOTE="jester47, post: 1375602, member: 2238"] Somtimes I look at my shelf and think, wow, Thats x ammount in camping gear, dates, and other stuff. But the thing is, I realise that it has been gathered over months and years. So a $3000 over 4 years breaks down to 750 a year, and that's about $60 a month. Now, I know how many times I have had the opportunity to go camping (with the whacked out retail schedule and a demanding rowing schedule, pretty much 0). And I rarely have the cash to cover the costs of camping gear all at once and when I do I buy it. Retail and a regular rowing schedule pretty much put the kaibash on dating anyone other than rowers ("sorry babe, I gotta jet, its 8:30 and its almost my bedtime"). And so when I think about how I would have spent the money otherwise (which I would have) I figure that the fact I can still hold on to what I bought might be a good thing. (meaning I could have spent it on shows, going out to bars, and other activities). Aaron. [/QUOTE]
