Anyone else feel the same?
Every time I fill my Jeep up for $90 I can't help but think...
Theres a new reel..... theres a new rod..... I always look at my expenditures in terms of what piece of fishing gear I could have gotten. I need to start riding my bike more =/ |

I tend to think it's ok when the wife goes to the grocery store and spends 300.00, or paying 290.00 for cable, internet and phone is o.k. or 400.00 a month on smokes and beer is cool. But when I go spend 100.00 friggin' bucks on fishing gear I have a giant guilt trip.

Since I bought my truck back in January I had not filled it up fully. A couple weeks ago I let the thing fill up. The gas station I was at automatically stops the pump at $100. My truck wasn't full all the way but I was shocked to finally hit the $100 mark for filling a vehicle, and yes, I did think wow, I could have bought so many fishing things with that same $100.

$90 - I wish I could spend $90 a week on fuel. My weekly fuel bill typically is $160! If I dont have any shoots to go to on the weekends I get to only put $120 of Diesel in the tank...
The drive to the beach is only 5 minutes, so I guess I have the argument that I actually save money by fishing on the weekends! |

Gonna get completely roasted on this I am sure, but do you know what those big, greedy, evil, capitalist pig oil companies make per gallon of gas? 5 fuckin cents! Do you know how much the state and federal gov't gets? 45 cents! So, who's really the ones screwin' you? I didn't make this shit up, but facts are facts, and numbers are numbers, and neither one of them lie. These numbers have absolutely nothing to do with politics, they just are what they are. Alright, I'll get off my soapbox now!

I spend $120-150 a week on gas, working 76 hours a week that money puts about 100k a year into my family if I spend 3k a year on myself for fishing, thats ok with me, and it better be ok with them.
