Billy are you talking about seeing a shrink?

billyr98 · 08-21-2006, 04:59 PM

would the shrink understand, that you spent over $5000 on a fish tank?

Icebox · 08-21-2006, 05:02 PM

Probably not, but he would get a good laugh out of it.

My spending gauge is definately whacked out do to reefing for too many years! ... I once tried to explain to someone that a controller that is 'only' $270 was a great deal... they never did see it my way

iamkellogg · 03-09-2007, 03:09 PM

I have not spent too much yet. I can see where people can get addicted though.

I've spent about 7k this month alone

BigAl07 · 03-09-2007, 03:20 PM

I started adding up for recent receipts and QUICKLY saw where that was headed... I put them back into the notebook and closed it back up. Better to just enjoy and not worry about it. I pay for everything in CASH so I don't have to worry about some credit card payment catching up with me in a few weeks.

So far I've spent less than a thousand, but that number will be increasing quite a bit in the near future!

Cougra · 03-13-2007, 05:32 PM

Well, instead of looking at the total cost and scaring the heck out of myself I figure that worst case senario I have spent less then $0.20CDN/Hour on my tank since started my saltwater tank over 7 years ago.
