More importantly, there is food on the table and I havnt hocked the wifes camera kit to get the next scope  ..oh yes, and am healthy and dont keep loosing my night vision whenever I spark up!
Upgrade..naah, get it right first time! ooh, then change your mind...  |
I had a discussion with someone recently who said that I was wasting money buying more scopes.
Yeah, right!!!
Well, actually, he might have a point, but only to a degree.
But then, we worked out what it was costing him for booze and smokes in a year. He hadn't really considered what it was costing him on a yearly basis, or simply was in denial about it, not sure which
However, he was more than a little surprised by how much he was spending on an annual basis. It worked out around a conservative estimate of $12,000 a year
Let alone the cost of being a social pariah.
Furthermore, I pointed out that my scopes won't kill me, unless I am hit my a meteorite or freeze to death in winter.
So, who is the one really wasting money? Not I
And no, I don't smoke and I rarely drink alcohol.
So DJT, good on you for giving up smoking, you will be the richer for it.
