boat payments:-(

[HURRICANEBOB]

None at 42. I was really talking about 60-65 though. Fishing for me is more than just catching fish. I enjoy the total experience of it all, including getting away for everything(including paying bills and the costs!). To be honest I cannot recall the cost of one trip, yet I can vividly recall "that" fish I caught 20-25 years ago. Of my fishing buddies that have passed before me(including my grandfather who took me on my first fishing trip) I don't recall anybody chatting about boat payments, yet MANY spoke of the great times had on the water. I guess some folks endure life, I prefer to live it.

Well said....and I second' the only time I worry about a budget is when I'm not enjoying myself. That's what recreation is all about, a departure from the norm and a chance to enjoy life. You are a scholar sir!
