I only buy what I need, no one can sell expensive things to me. I buy cheap clothes, eat the cheapest food, eat food out of the garden and wildgame. I am happy this way as long I have my traps, house and my girlfriend.

My biggest waste of money is my car but I need it for my work, that's to bad. Working cost money, I thought working is for getting money.

I spent $330,000 on hunting property in Michigan. Then started hunting out of state and realized how crappy the Deer hunting is in Michigan. Meanwhile, land values tanked in MI and went sky high in Iowa, (which is where I should have bought hunting land).

I never understood why somebody would spend hundreds of thousands of dollers on land just to hunt deer on just to kill a bigger buck when u cant eat the horns anyway jmo. These are the people that complain about me killin a spike horn or a fork horn to put meat on my table which is the whole reason for hunting in the first place.

Having learned something from every purchase I have made I feel absent of monetary waste.....I will however concede that some lessons were more expensive than others.

A motorhome. Happiest days I owned it was the day we brought it home and the day I saw it leaving the drive when I sold it.

Helping 'friends'. Most of them seemed to end up hateing me for it, somehow. I guess no good deed goes unpunished.
