Been hunting twice with my shotgun and once with my .270....been target shooting once with my .22 and once with my .380.  That's about $300 paid for each of the 5 outings I've had with them....that's over the last 10 years or so. 
 
Only saving grace is I can sell them and get most of my money back anyway. 
 
Next up would be a boat.  Bought it, had it about 3 years....spent about $12-$14K in payments and upkeep, sold it, and barely broke even. 
 
Don't EVER make payments on a boat. 
If it flys floats or fucks, rent it.

Boats are a nightmare.

COMPLETE nightmare...especially if you don't have a slip to keep it in.  I can't even count on both hands the number of times that thing made me pull my hair out.  Get it in the water....batter is dead.  Replacing props.  $400 to winterize.  The hour you have to spend getting ready and the two hours you have to spend cleaning up after you get in.  And I bought the thing brand new and it only had 100 hours on it when I sold it. 

I had a roller trailer and one time I was coming home at night and just about back to my house....I hit a pot hole and the boat actually jumped up and landed back on the trailer....cock-eyed.  I had to drive ALL the way back to the lake, back it in the water, re-adjust it on the tailer, and then go back home.  I went to the store and bought tie downs the next morning.

A buddy of mine told me about that quote a few years back and it's about as true as it gets.

I'm 32 and have spent probably close to 200k on gambling and drugs since I was 15.  I have not one penny to show for it.

What I do have is an ongoing constant itch to gamble or do drugs which is severely depressing considering that I can't do either because I have no money at all.

A $10 hand job from a had to be 45 - 55 year old momma san in a massage house in Okinawa, as a young innocent 18 year old Marine.   The regular message was $20, the $10 was extra for the hand job.   To get layed was an extra $20, but I wasn't gonna stick my dick in someone who was older than my mother, so the hand job was appropriate.
