Stupid or Necessary Expenses... Fishing or not fishing related...for fun or sadness

[fishin_magician]

Like many people, I like to have an idea of where my dollars are going. Just wondering how much other people are spending a week on stuff? Vices? Virtues?

Weekly fuel for the car $60 for last week @ $1.48/litre Regular (Vancouver gouging) going up substantially as soon as the Mustangs hit the road...
Coffee: Tim Hortons and Starbucks per week: $ 28 week
Beer: $13-$20 week currently...may be going up quickly in short order..lol
Boat Gas for April: $420 main and trolling on kicker as much possible. (This number is going up big time soon!!!

Let's see what other people are spending their $ on...

 

[Seafever]

Boat gas for one trip:- on average............. 8 dollars

I burn about 25 to 40 bucks a week gasoline for vehicle

Tim Hortons:- zero nada

Mostly we make and take our own coffee out on the road...

Cigarettes....about 200 bucks a month.........don't smoke in the house...only outside.....( I'm in shape though.......I lift weights and run......I like to sprint)


Beer........don't drink much beer at all except in the hot summer after fishing. we make our own wine...and I like hardstuff once in awhile........don't spend very much on booze though.

Seafever-I noticed you didn't include all your paints and clear coats or are you like me skulking around dollarama for the deals on nail polish!!!

For work, 5 bucks a week on gas, work for the wife is 1 k away (gas will be zero when she starts walking in spring/summer/fall) and I have a company truck.
Zero on the coffe as I don't drink the swill
Don't smoke
$15-$20 on beer/week
Spend $25/week on gas for the truck scouting, setting game cameras, hunting and the limited amount of fishing I get.

Yet I am still not seeing my account going up......

Cheers

The coffee budget is so high because it's used as an excuse to get out of the office and take a break from the stress and constant barrage of needy people coming to see me and all the direction I give people....less time in the office....less coffee consumed...hmmmmm...lol

Gas is $60 because of all the blasted red lights in this city...where I sit getting zero miles per gallon.

April fishing was expensive...32 miles plus trolling round trip each time I went out in April fishing the Hump/South Bowen and jockeying around covering some water.

Honda 15hp impeller kit 40 bucks, broken corroded in bolt $1.00, left handed drill bit $5.00, easy out $2.00, pb blaster $14, set of cobalt drill bits to get broken easy out out (failed) $50, trip to EDM machine shop, $85. Electrical discharge machine-google it. Easy outs are for getting a purchase on a broken off bolt/screw that is not stuck-google it. Expenses to come if machine shop can't save me: new mid section on ebay $175, drill press and/or welder to arc weld stainless nut on broken bolt next time?
Fishing is cheaper than getting ready to fish. Travel is my big cost: 3 trips to Ukee, 1 to Tofino, and 3 to Van for sockeyes is the plan this year.

I go out on the boat to forget/distract me from the bills. Catching fish is just a bonus.
