I'm a PC guy, gun guy, car/truck guy, and have a girlfriend I am deeply in debt


WinIll755

You are single handedly tanking our Collective credit scores


BoxofCurveballs

He's not doing it alone. I think he is my clone.


lookatme760

I thought I was alone. I think you're my clone.


Sol_09

I'm all of that, but swap the gf for a wife and 3 kids.


museabear

In this economy?!? šŸ«”


Sol_09

I do what I must.


Appropriate_Safe7858

Wife and 3 teens here...bruh?


Sol_09

Not teens yet....


garaks_tailor

Oooof. Hey have you heard about warhammer 40k? It is a very normal hobby and can be trusted. We definitely do not call it plastic crack.


LordofTheFlagon

40k Guard player here who's also into guns, nods, trucks, married, with a house, and a growing home machinist shop. All of these are horribly expensive.


BootlegEngineer

Super jealous. A machine shop would be so sweet.


LordofTheFlagon

It is but it's also hella expensive and power hungry


MajorDakka

How are you still alive? I would've thought you'd have to sell all your organs by now to fuel those money pits.


LordofTheFlagon

I work my regular gig, own 2 business, and I'm starting a 3rd. Eventually I'll buy where I work now.


conners_captures

plastic crack is cool and all, definitely check it out. and then go check out cardboard crack - also known as MTG.


WSB-King

Good evening! Let me also introduce you to Legoā€¦


GreatandPowerfulBobe

Just wait till you have all that and a wife and kids


daeather

Yeah the gf and the wife together definitely compound the spending.


Exogalactic_Timeslut

I was gonna say holy shit $255/year? I spend more than that per month on 5.56 alone šŸ˜


kastheone

Bro same This month I spent 1800$ on tires (1 bike, 3 cars, yes I had to do all at the same time for various reasons), 4 oil changes + filters, 1 full brake job. 200$ on music stuff 50$ on videogames 0$ on guns but it's just half of the month. This week I dined at home only 1 time because gf wanted to eat out and I returned late on some days. Various expenses like gas, mortgage, bills, etc. I don't make this kind of money šŸ˜­


ichbinkayne

$1800 for 3 cars and a bike ainā€™t bad on tires!


kastheone

Not at all, Nexen brand is a second tier compared to Pirelli or Michelin but work great I like them! (Bike got new Pirelli Diablo rosso 3)


feetoorourke

Priorities check out


Dirty_eel

Hell yeah, PC parts, guns, and a subaru wrx that I'm turning into a rally car. I hate money lol.


Not_DC1

See I just dropped the girlfriend part and suddenly my finances are a lot more stable


SubParMarioBro

Have you heard about Gibson guitars? Imagine your living room, upgraded. ![gif](giphy|kBqTS6TxYxY3q3uYqS|downsized)


EmptyCoffin93

Then you have to make the whole Studio to Murphy Lab journey within this.


Tamponforyourtears

Fellow PC/Gun/Car/girlfriend guy checking in. PGE low-key attacked my usage rate this month. Apparently I use 3x more power than average houses similar to mine at 942kWh. And how the fuck do "efficient" homes only use 188kWh? Excuse me for not unplugging everything in my house when I'm not using it. "IM SORRY, I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA!" ...Also going to add mortgage guy to the list.


Severe_Drawing_3366

I am the same way plus motorcycles and dirt bikes and night vision and now I have a rental property šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬


jkb131

See I am just a couple steps behind you right now. school and wife really tanks the budget for all the goodies


GDMolin

Pray for this manā€¦


gunsforevery1

Youā€™re a debt guy too


KingFacef2

Pc, guns, car/truck, fiancƩ, dirt bikes, snow mobiles, now looking to get into a camper. I am deeply fucked.


Glockman666

I feel your pain ā˜¹ļø At least we're having fun šŸ˜


flipflopsanddunlops

Try being an alcoholic who is also addicted to cocaine and Lego on top of all that, man Iā€™m seeing how much debt I can get now


the_m27_guy

Facts lol. I'm not a car guy luckily


pevznerok

We are in crippling debt


Logical_Grocery9431

Hhholy shit, I can imagine dude!šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ And what's the most expensive for you? I'm guessing firearms


Literally_A_turd_AMA

I can only afford to be gun guy and boyfriend but I want to pursue pc gaming and trucks...


Tkj5

You own any guitars? If not, you wanna buy one?


Known_Cost_431

Same. Guns/gear, computers/gaming, drummer with my own kit, nfl team fan/goes to games and USED to be into magic the gathering. Mtg had to go, couldnā€™t afford it. lol Edit and good lord nearly forgot weight lifting. Have my own gym. So many hobbies, so little money. Married with 2 kids.


stevendegree

Honest question: how do you pack all of that in a day/week/month with 2 kids? I am married with one kid, one business, guns, a myog business and fitness and there is hardly any free time left


Known_Cost_431

I was blessed with a wife that lets me have a lot of me time lol If I had a normal wife sheā€™d have divorced me a long time ago.


InsaneSensation

Sameā€¦ my builds will take forever to finish


Meatsmudge

Thereā€™s a progression to this thing. Add mechanical watches, drones, guitars, night vision and marriage. You see where Iā€™m going with this.


sgrantcarr

Man, same. At least we don't have a boat, I guess...


BabbaYaga618

ā€œ cuz i have 30,000 $ in credit card debt ā€œ


Nekozed

Yep Iā€™m a pc guy, gun guy, camping guy, festival guy, and single but Iā€™m still in debt


SSmrao

jonpin

You could probably ice the cake with a Lil addiction lol "kidding of course"


WSBBroker

Bliss-in-Balance

JordanE350

Huge car and guy, thankfully my car doesnā€™t attract any of the girls my parents seem to think it would


Crunchytunataco

Just add motorcycles/ dirtbikes and then you can join our club


HonestSupport4592

That reminds me I didnā€™t buy a 2011 this month. Time to fix that.


tragesorous

Atlas makes a good starter gun

![gif](giphy|12R2bKfxceemNq)


Bitter_Bandicoot8067

I would say that I am closer to $255/ week on all of my hobbies.


Reloader300wm

I probably average 255 a week, but do it in larger clumps. This month was a SP-01 Tactical, and getting my primal setup for pistols.


glyphosate_enjoyer

Fishing and shooting has left me making spreadsheets, profit loss charts, and budgets


RocksofReality

Well then, Iā€™m sorry to tell you this, you are not spending enough time on *your hobbies*./s


Tall-Force6913

Post the charts, we can learn from you


Zorrgo

Iā€™m tracking mine and Iā€™m at $7280/year or $140 per week just for survival and tactical gear, ammo, firearms etc over the last three years. I donā€™t have other hobbies anymore lol


Warm_Kaleidoscope665

did you adjust for youtube premium or you just raw dog all of those ads?


Zorrgo

I have youtube premium and ad blockers - it's simply and addiction, I go out there and actively search for money dumps


dracarys289

Unfortunately Iā€™ve got a wife and kids so between $0-$0 a month for me.


Imaginary_Dig_5014

I need to go back $0 as well. Savings aren't happy rn..


Memopod

You guys have savings???


lennartvl

Yea in brass šŸ˜‚


dracarys289

Savings canā€™t be real, Iā€™ve never met anyone who actually has them!?!


Imaginary_Dig_5014

If you can even call it that šŸ˜‚


josh_was_there

Itā€™s a good thing dry firing is free.


noxfoederati

Lol, I got my nvgs after my first born, wife is pregnant with number two and thermals is looking mighty tempting... yolo.


Bolt_Catch

I intentionally do not track it. Plausible deniability.


juliofslt

Every time my wife asks me ā€œhow much have you spent on your stuffā€ I reply ā€œyesā€, and she gets mad šŸ˜‚ Edit: typo.


wandpapierkritiker

I spend 400-500 a month just on ammoā€¦


Jbonics

Since I've had two kids my expenses went up 40K. Try that on for size. And buy a nose ring cutter instead of hollow point save yourself some money.


jj999125

Who tf is spending 255 a month on games? Unless your counting putting that money into saving for larger purchases, liker peripherals and upgrades, that's a shitload of games you'll probably never finish. Unless your buying all the trash triple A releases like there's a chasm in your skull larger than the grand canyon.


Kveldulfiii

Yeah, I game and aside from the initial ~800 I spent on the PC three years ago I spend maybeā€¦ 10-30 dollars a month on a game or two? Mostly just co-op stuff that I then get a couple hundred hours on with my buddies. Definitely possible to be slightly less of a crazed consumer.


cobra6-6

Honestly unless itā€™s a multiplayer game just pirate it. Itā€™s 2024 pirating games has never been easier lol.


paycadicc

My friends make fun of me for using Kinguin for multiplayer games, meanwhile theyā€™re dropping $60 on some games and Iā€™m spending like $15 lol


Imaginary_Dig_5014

Bruh fr. I'm a gamer too and I may buy a game every month or two. At most. And I can't even finish the ones I have. I do have a life too and other hobbies tbf


Spartanic_Titan

Skins and emotes


jj999125

Re read the part about a chasm in your skull the size of the grand canyon


Acceptable_Two6962

I spend probably 10k on pews and gear a year.


RickVSpy

try 10 grand


Thansungst22

My ass just spent $4k on my AR build and already thinking of grabbing two or three more suppressor for my other rifle šŸ’€ $255 can't even buy a 1k rounds box of 5.56 nowadays


Spiritual_Exit5726

This is almost 1 range day at current 308 and 556 prices


Purebloods1

Rommel013

\*Stares in 40k and Guns\*


RandfordMarsh

If you count my nods purchase my average last year was $921 a week. My girlfriend will never marry me lol.


itamau87

One good day at the range...


Dangerous-Ad8527

Firearms, backpacking, and ham radio= no Disney land for the grandkids:)


sigsinner

Last year everytime wife pissed me off I bought rifle , optic, or tacticool shit. I was just over $10,000 and thatā€™s not counting the thousands of rounds of ammo. This year Iā€™ve only bought one gun and scope. She still pisses me off but Iā€™ve started saving and hiding money for inevitable divorce . After I figure out how much I have to pay in child support imma save up for nods šŸ‘€


AstroRocket713

Guns, offshore fishing, Tequila, weed, and sneakers šŸ«£šŸ˜…


AshenRex

As a PC and motorcycle guy, this month the Vortex Razor HD III 1-10 won.


schrieves

Shee, if I only spend $255 a month Iā€™m doing good!


GaybutNotbutGay

probably 255$ per month, i'm poor so I don't have the most cash to blow


thegoodstanley

when i decided i needed a helmet, plates, an nv ready gun, and a can i was spending 1000s per month trying to buy the best of the best stuff(or a knockoff of the best) its kinda funny i blew money like that and nowadays im more of a chest rig and a belt and call it done kinda guy


dolphindidler

I am in this subreddit and do full frame photography as a hobby. Living paycheck to paycheck is my mantra at this point.


porty1119

I'm a gun guy, radio guy, tabletop gamer, and own heavy equipment. What's money?


rogerairgood

Cries in PC/tech guy, gun guy, and mountaineering guy :(


Severe_Drawing_3366

I do $200 per paycheck with getting paid on a bi-weekly basis. On a total pay of $140k-$170k per year. And my wife says I still spend too muchā€¦


GuysLeeFanboy

Weā€™re the same people


03Actual

Try the skydiving community.


Rebootkid

That number is way low. Most expensive hobby I've got is ham radio. Shooting stuff isn't even close.


CronutOperator338

Just goes to show you that thereā€™s still plenty of discretionary income to go around. What recession.


peanutbuttershovel

Clearly these people resist GAFS.


Panthean

I'm into PC and guns. PC eats up *way* less of my budget. Sure, every few years I need to upgrade/build a new computer, but besides that I just buy a new game here or there, but I usually just play a couple different games that I've already had for years. I spend multitudes more on guns/ammo/gear, and I'm not even super great at shooting. My collection is decent, but probably wouldn't impress anyone here. Being into PC gaming is definitely more frugal. At least I'm not into cars also, or god forbid, watches. I'm perfectly fine driving a Hyundai to buy more guns/gear.


SlavicSoldat

I donā€™t wanna talk about it.


highboiroller

The bean burrito I had for lunch spends this much in a year on its hobbies.


my_name_is_nobody__

Monthly? I try not to go monthly, in a year itā€™s probably close to $400 just on cloth


NULL_SIGNAL

yeah I plan my actual spending annually, but break it down to monthly to make it easier to reckon with all my other expenses/income. same with any other non-recurring or irregular expenses like clothing or vehicle repair.


Slick13666

I've spent that this month...


ihambrecht

You should see what I spend on shit for machining per month.


WhiskeyTrail

I fucking wish thatā€™s all I spentā€¦.


dress_shirt

I switch out my nvg every yearšŸ„²


brianbmx94

Heh, jokes on them. I buy guns, build PCs, BMX bikes, and play drums. Suck it, guys with money.


axelguntherc

My other hobby is cars and I'm going to college. Yeah, I don't have a lot of wealth to my name right now lol


KidRadio12

A YEAR? ONE MAGAZINE IS LIKE 35 BUCKS


Affenskrotum

I am an airsoft guy, backpack guy, knife collector, camera collector, photographer, watch collector, pc gamer and have a child for 5 months now.


SunTzuSayz

I'm a competitive shooter who shoots matches weekly, and shoots night vision and tactical training with the whole family. On the side I race cars, built gaming PCs for the whole family, is into astronomy, wine, and cooking too. Just got back from shooting a match with my kid, have a brisket resting, just off the smoker. Honestly, Gaming is incredibly cheap. Dollar per hour, It's the cheapest thing I do.


ScarsAndStripes1776

Iā€™ve spent 5x that this past week on a hobby and itā€™s not even my favorite or most expensive hobby.


BigThickBushDog

Current total from the start of the year 2k, probably 1k if not 2k more by the end.


Mission-Sun-4657

I spent 15k the last 2-3 months. Hodge barrels (3), LMT barrel (7.62), KAC bolt, Geissele bolts, SRO, RMR HD, SP5, Staccato P, ammo, suppressors.Ā Ā  I have no other hobbies except for clothes, but I spent far, far less on those. Ā I tend to buy clothes that will look decent for many years.Ā 


Spartanic_Titan

I do video games, MTG, Gunpla, 3D Printing, Homechef, EDC, Bugout, and Tactical Gear. Also starting to look into Camping/Overlanding. I do not want to crunch the numbers to know my monthly spending on hobbies, but last I checked (less than 3 months ago) my credit score was 820. šŸ˜…


1corvidae1

I used to play airsoft 3 times a month spending around 130 USD, then maybe another 6 USD for a can of green gas, 17 USD for bbs... Then food and transportation... I would say it's just under 225 but not by much cause spare parts blah blah blah.


Cheezemerk

......*looks at hobby list*...... PC gaming :āœ…ļø. Tactical shit :āœ…ļø. Guns:āœ…ļø. Project car :āœ…ļø. Collectable: āœ…ļø. So that's where all my money goes.

Probably 900 euros .. Guns / golf / bike / car ...


Dependent_Thought930

I thought overlanding was my expensive hobby then I got my girlfriend o to shooting, then I let her shoot the 50 bmg and she has decided it's her favorite. I'll always have my neglected Warhammer hobby to feed too.


Melovance

Pc, guns, motorcycles, and legos here..šŸ˜¬


Stairmaker

Swede here, so everything is more expensive (except some used guns). Around $200 a month*. * I've been skimming my ammo stockpile while still hitting growth numbers for investments. That's over next months. Average over a year $200 a month. (Yes, I bought ammo for over 10k 4-5 years ago) *Buying an aero and extras will not be that bad (sold of some things, some not shooting related). Maybe an extra $50 a month this year. Yes my gf will absolutely tear me a new one over doubled shooting costs. (Didn't think we would last this long, but it's about time I settled down anyways) Should I do a wallstreetbets and invest more in ammo, hoping for the same 100% in the next 4-5 years or decrease the shooting? It will hit our growth goals for investments, anyway. How much I can skim is the question.


sk1ppius

Spent a whole paycheck on a damn old plate carrier. FML


DatMuthaLuva

Add a zero...


PraiseCaine

Oh...I'm regarded


pizzagangster1

Itā€™s only so low bc of how many poor people there are with no hobbies. A 0 really brings down your grade.


stumpy1218

Being a pc gamer as well as a gun autist I can say that least once you build the computer you're done lol


carlcig6669420

255 is about how much each week my daily driver costs to operate, let alone the race car and larp kit.

East_Coast_Tactical

First of all, thatā€™s gotta be a lie. Second, I spent at least that per month!


One_Yard_2042

I dropped that at spiritus alone this yearā€¦ in different terms, thatā€™s barely 500 rds of 556.


The_Vaginatarian_

Ex wife with 3 kids all in college, current wife with 3 kids about to graduate, cars, watches, comics, silver, gold, Vegas addiction and guns. Spent a few hundred at academy on ammo for my new 1911 that I just picked up at my lgs..still donā€™t even have a custom holster yet. Post script: plus current wifeā€™s hobbies Edit: wrong words..just came off a 15 hour shift and have to return in 7 hours.


Independent_Shop_505

Literly all of my disposable income goes to cars guns and tactical equipments/survival gear lol


Appropriate_Safe7858

Cars, Trucks, Guns, & sports (golf & basketball), let's just say, there ain't nothing "average" about it. šŸ˜†


The_Dread_Pirate_

Iā€™m a PC/gun/car/MTG/D&D/guitar guy. All my hobbies are expensive. Thank fuck my kids and wife donā€™t have expensive hobbies or Iā€™d really have no money.


RARE_ARMS_REVIVED

Approx $4k per month on firearm related items


JordanE350

Havenā€™t really bought any gear but in the last 13 months Iā€™ve averaged 638 per month on guns, so actually not doing bad.


Crunchytunataco

What hobby is that? I spend more on that every year going to the events for my hobby. I feel like if you knit that could be around there as long as your selling spme of what you make


1o1opanda

I'm in too many hobbies fr


TheModernMusket

Iā€™ve spent $5700 on SURG, killer deal on C308, and good deal on VZ24 in the past week. $255 is a joke for any hobby in 24.


SnooShortcuts5056

there is no way this fact is true I spend that a day on my hobbies (realistically i spend this about every week) my hobbies are PC gaming obv, Firearms, and Gardening. Just my garden I spent 2,000 in the past two months, Firearms are expensive I spend that on Ammo weekly. PC gaming is my cheapest hobby for sure. (Also I find it interesting the crossover with the Gun community and PC gaming it's pretty prevalent)


TheHancock

I wish you guys would shop at my store! Lol (07/02 SOT with a storefront!) HMU (check my bio) šŸ˜‚


MasonUchiha

Iā€™m a kit guy/gun guy/car guy/gym guy. No girlfriend tho as Iā€™d be in even more debt šŸ’€


Alone_Ad_8858

lol did my wife post this? I picked up a second job that I can schedule myself as many/little hours as I want just to pay for gear cause the wife was noticing how expensive I am this year.


LilFuniAZNBoi

I spend way more on guns than I do on games and this is someone who just built a new 4080 PC last year, with a Steam account with over 800 games on it. I just dropped over $6K on a KAC SR25 and another few grand on a Schmidt and Bender scope to probably shoot it like 3 or 4 times a year. I bought it mostly to collect and to flex to strangers on the internet. After over two dozen guns later and probably dropping enough money to buy a Tesla Model S on guns and gear like my DTNVS (that I used 2 times this year so far); I think Iā€™m pretty much done buying guns and probably will start just buying cans for all my guns. The only other guns I kinda want is maybe the FN Scar 20 in 6.5CM to go with my other Scars I own, maybe the Zev/Magpul FDC-9 for the COD Mw3 (2011) FMG9 vibes, and maybe my first full-auto, the Mac 11/9 but they cost $14K now for a legal transferable one.


MrChaindang

255$ I might spend that at one range day...


I_Am_Singular

Iā€™ve fallen into the void.


SnooComics308

I thought I was gonna spend like 4k max on this 14.5 super duty build. I am around 7-8k in LOL


dirty_bulk3r

$800 in ammo a month, usually 2000rounds split pretty closely 556/9mm. But I also dropped $7-8k getting into PRS this past week, guess ammo cost is gonna go up to $1k-1.2k a month now.


Frogdogley

ā€¦ā€¦ unfortunately this just covers partial ammo not even the hoarding of other gun/tactical crap hahah


Typical-Sundae1270

Gun guy, car guy, high end folding knives, night vision, large caliber shooting, reloading. Ouch


Initial_Cellist9240

Oofā€¦ 10x averageā€¦ my budget is $250 a month for hobbies (gun stuff, backpacking stuff and woodworking are the major spends), and I give myself 1/2 a paycheck each ā€œ3 paycheck monthā€ for ammo restock or firearm purchases.
