So far all very very fun to read on how we fund our habits and what habits we have kicked for a better one.

On my spare time, I fix my former boss's house. In a week's time I can make $500 fixing what his pets chew up in his house. I only have $1200 left on my car loan but I can't get it paid off because I keep seeing cool gun stuff online!

If you're serious, I'll attempt to give you an idea or two: become the best employ that your company has, even if it happens to replace your interest in guns for a guns for a while, deserve the raises, and request it when you feel confident enough to tell the boss what exactly you have done to deserve it. Your hobbies can become the reward, you'll enjoy them even more then.

Or, make your hobby, your advocation. Work pat-time at your local gunshop, learn everything that you can from the other workers and the customers. Learn enough that you could replace everyone in there, including the owner, then become one (an owner)!

Either way that you go, it's going to take time, but there is no quick and easy way to realize a goal or dream worth dreaming!

Good luck in your endeavors to satisfy your dreams!

How do I fund my gun habit?

Right now I don't--the joys of buying a house "as is" and placing priority on getting it ship-shape as quickly as possible.

My only likely purchases for 2008 are an AK + some hi-cap mags before November, and an XD9sc for the Mrs.

I'm a consultant so I get paid to go to work in the compensation for mileage and tolls. I use that money as my slush fund and I buy whatever I want.
