šŸ“ˆ End-of-Year Balance: How much $$ did you spend in 2024ā“

I still like my barstools, just donā€™t get to sit on one often enough. Iā€™ve taken to bringing the beer down in my dungeon.
Will get a small fridge
Yep... I moved the whole dang bar into our home. I even get to DJ the music we want to hear and sports or whatever we want to watch. No shoes, no shirt, no problem. ;)

Haaa! No shirt was a problem yesterday watching football, shooting, drinking beer. Had to put gloves on at one point.
Was grinding on the rusty steel pipes that hold up the house. Wife came down complaining about smell. Had to open windows

We enclosed our 16 x 24 screened in porch and the door is right off our living room. There is another door leading out to a ramp outside. We call it "The Hole in the Wall".
 
Cmon, if you havenā€™t spent at least a couple grand can you even call yourself an airgunner?

Sorry just my opinion but not really a topic for the forum as it shouldnā€™t matter to anyone hereā€¦.i donā€™t care what anyone else spentā€¦.it isnā€™t anyone elseā€™s business. Again sorry no offense just my thoughts.
Seems to be a topic for this forum. If it wasnā€™t that would be up to a moderator to decide . Besides technological info most forums ( only 3 ) Iā€™m on is just guys bullpoopting back and forth . Maybe Iā€™m just a friendless old f vk .
 
for me this hobby is comparatively expensive
Thirteen posts and not one of you has posted an actual dollar amount šŸ¤£
I will grant that it would be embarrassing for some but most of us are guilty of going above and beyond the limits of normal or average whatever that is.
2024 was not bad for me. bought 2 guns, ones was $1,800.00 the other was an older FX Cutlass and only $450.00. Two new scopes, $459.00 each. that was it for actual hardware. I have been using up several large buys on slugs from 2023 so no money spent there.I am migrating more to pellets and just guessing here but close to $500.00 in misc items that include pellets. OH crap!! another $450.00 to rebuild the top end of my compressor.
so roughly $3,700.00 and that can be rounded up to an even $4,000.00 to cover any oversights.
2023 was far more expensive
2025 is going to be less expensive because I will start out with a credit when the wifeā€™s M3 sells and there are no guns on my immediate horizon. I intend to keep it that way, but ya just never know.
im embarrassed but only to my own mind. Why ? because I know this is a fleeting period . It will fade and I will look to sell all but the most practical backyard shooter and the Gx compressor .
 
This thread really got me thinking and I gotta admit. I am blessed to be able to spend the way I do but holy smokes this is crazy now that I did the math :eek::eek::oops::oops::oops:

Total purchases made in 2024 (I am missing a couple of items I am sure):

This is not a boasting post. Its kinda scary how much I spent.

$5,235--Here is the breakdown

----$935 in pellets/slugs
----$1295 Taipan Vet 2
----$1650 FX Wildcat MK3 BT
----$320 Athlon Scope
----$280 Vector Veyron Scope
----$120 FX No Limit Mounts + FX CF Liner
----$75 Saber Tactical Bottle Degasser Kit
----$200 Chronograph
----$360 Compressor FX CS3

My wife supports me otherwise this would not be happening!

I have an issue ya'll. Do I need rhabilitation?

Imagine that:
Some forum article notification just found their way into my inbox ā€” about March scopes.


āž  I, the dummy I sometimes am, read the article ā€” o surprise, started drooling over a 3-24x52 FFP and "High Master" scopes, costing far far more than any gun I own.


I got the scope virus bad, real bad. šŸ˜µ
No cure, just like Corona.
(I'm going to unsubscribe from that March thread.... šŸ˜³ It won't cure me, but hopefully it will prolong my [financial] life.)
