I CAN NOT tell you how many smart arse comments I've heard from aquaintances like "I wish I could afford to go bear hunting in Canada, or elk hunting in Colorado, etc....  The odd thing is most of these guys are driving $30,000 trucks with $8,000 four wheelers in the back of them!  I hanven't had a truck payment for nearly 8 years, and my wife and kids and I are into things like hiking, canoeing, hunting, gardening.  Things like that are cheap and are tons more fun than spending money in town!  

If you really want to do it you can find a way to make it happen.

Charles nailed it. If my money wasnt going to pay for slackers and welfare brats to have cell phones, and everything else on our dime, Id be float hunting alaska.

Good interesting thread
