RE: The current economy and the direction fuel prices are headed
While I do have expensive tastes, and will pay higher than most for electronic gadgets, TV's, audio equipment, guns, etc. I have not had expensive hobbies like owning a boat, motorcycle or jet ski's etc. I grew up with boats and my dad had 21' Wooden Chriscraft and a 26' firberglass both for fishing in salt water.
But I never owned on.
Somebody told me once that best thing about owning a boat was the day you bought it.........and the day you sold it.

I have paid my dues and saved early in my 20's and I will now reward myself with a few toys like a Challenger.
