I am one to complain about almost everything – including the stuff I want and the stuff that I need. I am so fed up with all these companies cheapening everything and diminishing much of any level of quality. Inflation is out of control and corporate greed/shareholders’ demands push every company to find a way to lesson the quality and still convince you to buy it. Maybe its my age, but I find that I have to buy more things that I need than what I want. The justification on items I want is pretty gray

Cost per hour of use is a losing calculation for almost all recreational equipment. I know everyone here is a diehard fisherman who hasn’t put their boat away yet, had it out multiple times per week all summer, and will have it back out anytime it’s above zero after the New Year too and have been doing that for decades, I just don’t get why there’s still under 500 hours on it…

But an hour in a boat/fish house/snowmobile has brought me far more joy than my 401(k) ever has. So as long as you are taking care of the long term (retirement), live it up in the short term!

Could not agree more.

Got a new boat 2 years ago, I’m up to about an hour and a half on it so far.

If I didn’t spend money on a boat or other toys I would probably be spending that money on therapy sessions.
