I think I finally found the cure to my rc overspending problem....

[sumguy75]

Laziness!!!

I have so many things I need to do to my 2 rigs, both general maintenance and upgrade parts that have been sitting for at least a week or longer. I can hardly even think about new things I want to buy, too busy trying to talk myself into doing something with what I already have!

I think its the weather. Still way warmer than normal where I'm at and now there is an active wildfire on a mountainside outside of town that is making it smell like smoke outside. Went out today and had a rod end pop out on a crash about halfway through my first battery pack. Had all my tools, spares, etc and just looked at it and said screw it, I'm done for the day.

I was thinking a shock collar would cure your over spending. Any time your wife saw a charge on the credit card for rc car parts or saw you messing with an rc...

 

[sumguy75]

Haha, she might enjoy that. Right now, she simply says nothing until I've pushed it too far and she makes it clear its time for me to be happy with what I have, at least for 3-4 weeks. She works full time, I work part time right now so uh, yeah, I just nod and say "yes dear".

Weird. I was was thinking picking up a crack habit might be cheaper.

I'm sooo lucky to not have a spending problem.
My trick is that I don't have anything to spend.
So lucky I am!!!

If only bank accounts worked like the card game Uno where you win if you get to zero...

My spending go's in spurts, I shop, I run out of money, I replentish, rinse and repeat. I wish the replentish part worked a little faster.

Should I laugh or cry?

Should I laugh or cry?

I left it open to do as you please.
But with that said I don't aim for people feeling bad for me....so laugh at my pain! I do

 

[Hector_Fisher]

The more boring and responsible answer is to have a weekly budget for RC spending
But whatever gets you to be responsible enough to be able to continue buying RC stuff in the future is good by me!

The first thing to address is how much are you contributing to your 401k/IRA?

That’s a far greater priority than a hobby.

Are you nuts? who needs a 401K? These things are going to be collectibles, and we are all going to be filthy rich!

 

[Heliguy]

Well, actually not collectibles. Everyone needs a 401k or IRA if they plan to retire. They’ve been going for decades. I started my 401k and IRA back in my early 20’s. I recently retired at the age of 52 never having to work again.

Time passes quickly. Best to be prepared unless you plan to work all your life. They work very well. They only need to be managed properly.

Sure hope so.

Sure hope so.

Twas but a joke, I hope nobody is that foolish.

 

[Heliguy]

Millions are that foolish and stupid. Every day. After all, the average american citizen is an idiot….
