    It’s a hobby. I’m doing a proper checking to make sure everything is sound and not putting money in for it to look pretty, just to sail around and camp on the water on the weekend. Like I said I’m far from broke.

      To be clear, you can have any hobby you want my man, that’s cool. You do you. I’m not taking umbrage due to your taste or aesthetics. The part that offends is your condescending attitude towards other peoples spending, while you do one of the most expensive “hobbies” there are. If the contrast isn’t striking to you or you think you’ve earned some next level respect, having risen above the mere mortals and all, well then you just come off quite Antoinette, and as a quick reminder, that’s not a good look either.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that’s what this is or putting you on blast, I’m just saying it’s bringing these vibes to me and putting that on the table. You do with it what you will. If there’s something I can tell ya that’s universal across cultures, it’s lend a hand to help, bring people up with you, and attack up, not down, especially with jokes, opinions and attitudes.

      Otherwise you’re just a kiss ass for people with more money/power than you. And idk man, some people are comfortable licking boots and kneeling, I don’t get it but it is what it is, it’s just not something I can quantifying into a price. The rest of us just have to cope, I guess, with owning our dignity, integrity and spines. For some people everything is for sale.

        I was merely offhanded mentioning what I was planning on spending the money I’ve saved by not owing high interest credit card debt. Partly as a way to share my excitement on a minor thing.

        I’ve passed on the boat I looked at today as it’s a bit too much work and money to bring up. I try to make sound financial decisions.
