There are more expensive hobbies (Score 1)

One of my hobbies is kayaking and canoeing. With three kayaks, two canoes, and all the other supplies needed just to be safe and fun, I already have more than $5,000 spent. Then tack on the price of traveling to the water whenever I want to get some paddle time in. I have no idea how much I have spent in the last five years, but I would say it's more than $15,000. I think that's money well spent, because it is for something that I have a lot of fun doing. If WOW is your thing, and it's fun for you, then $1,000 per year is well worth it.
