I used to sell marine parts. Boat=Bust Out Another Thousand. That's just talking about the parts, even the yearly maintenance stuff. Then there's the cost of fuel. Before I worked there I wanted a boat. Now I'm just glad my Dad has one I can go out on with him on a few weekends per summer.

Skiing I like doing on the cheap. Passes are free if you work for the mountain. My skis are like 8 years old...I don't go blowing four figures on the latest and greatest every year. Let me tell you, getting paid to ski and drive snowmobiles was awesome. Except for the pay... But what it lacked in dollars it made up for in job satisfaction. Now I know plenty of people who have day pass vouchers to give out!
