I indulged myself once. 14 years ago I bought a new sawmill $23,000(had a used one, just wanted a new, more up to date hydraulic one). They would deliver it for free if I let them advertize the delivery and then supply a few logs to demonstrate it to other prospective buyers.
So the big day comes and we have a pretty good crowd show up. A deer hunter comes in a little late. He's driving a new 4x4 with a rifle rack full of rifles in the back glass and a nice new 4-wheeler in the bed. He asks me why I bought the sawmill. I tell him I just wanted a better one and it's just for my hobby, not planning on sawing for others or to try to make money. He just goes off on how in the world can you spend that kind of money for a sawmill and just use it occassionally for a HOBBY.
I told him, "Well, some people spend 20 thousand for a 4x4 pickup truck, 800 or more for a rifle, 3 thousand or so for a 4 wheeler, then go climb a tree and hunt dear for a hobby." He laughed and said, "You made your point."
