It's unbelievable that you guys can afford to pay this much for a hobby! [sm=what_smile.gif]

If you don't think it's such a horrible question, how much of your salary is put towards model airplanes?

Here is my opinionized table (% spent on planes)

0-5% - Sweet! Good devotion to a hobby
5-10% - A little short on the mortgage but I can manage
10-15% - Um.... time... to... decrease... debt... payment.... ... [&o]
15-20% - Honey? Maybe we should sell the car. After all, walking is healthier!
20-25% - O geez! Do we really need a house this big? I wouldn't mind a smaller home.
25-30% - Health insurance?! Who needs em! I got AMA insurance!!!
30-35% - I already paid my taxes 2 years ago!!!! [:@]
35-40% - That's it, you better get a part-time job now!!!!
40-45% - OMG! Get a full-time job right away!
45-50% - So you drove the car 50 miles when you could've walked?!
50+% - Alright... Off to VEGAS!!!!
My average income is $100K and I spend about $5K a year on whatever I want. This year a big chunk went to RC stuff.
100k?! What in God's name do you do?
LOL, I am an industrial electrician for a major automotive manufacturer.
At your age you have the potential to do anything you want, study and work hard, some day your income will make mine look like chump change.
