after taking stock of my airplane stuff for this year, I am getting close to the 2,000 mark if you include fuel, but like a fellow noted I don't go to bars don't drink or party any more so what do I spend my $$ on,my 2 kids stuff,surf trips,planes mostly kits,music stuff, not necessarily in that order.

dont spend more than you can afford for any one hobby and your good to go.

I also like to keep it to one major kit build a year, just one warbird component list will cost you a 1,000 it adds up fast even for a 60 size. was thinking of going up in size WOW! better get your calculator ready and pay down that credit card.

scary thing is I am only half way through this years build project Top flight P-47 Thunderbolt, and I already have a list of planes I want to do next. man I am behind, I better get off the computer and start building
BTW the future list, TF P-51B, Skyshark FW-190A,SS BF-109E, SS BF-109G, always growing and a few sport kits in between
