Default Re: Is it a Hobby, an Addiction, or a lifestyle?!

Yeah this is a tough one. I personally have to limit my interest to one thing at a time. I tend to go overboard on all the shiny things. LOL I do admit that after spending my entire life fishing and then becoming pro that I feel I have betrayed it for flying model airplanes. Thing I have to remember though is that I was only a couple days old when the first place I visited was my fathers club feild. This blasted hobby is in my blood. My very first images were of planes. I love them. The problem now though is that I feel very indulgent. A little guilt comes along with entertaining this and all pastimes really. With a wife and kids I have to ensure they are my priority. Easier said than done. I guess I can assure that my home and reletive belongings are more substantial because of my desire to acquire more planes. With the domestic nescessties being taken care of first I have to ensure the money is rolling in, if there is to be surplus for another plane. In a way it pushes me even harder in my career.
Well I guess another justification is that far more fish are living longer lives now that I am no longer fishing those 300+ days a year!

Honestly though, do we know of another pastime that presents the need for more stuff so often?. I mean I no sooner upack my new plane , get it on the building table, and suddenly I am bitten by the "bug" to get the next one.

What the hell

PS this isn't a terribly athletic pastime. I am a little concerned about my rescent growth. ^..^

Can you tell I am still refusing to give in fully to this insanity we call RC

I completely agree with you!
So,I would say it is an addictive lifestyle!
