When I see stuff like this, I tend to think the people saying it are in a way are clowns also.
Example......I do not play golf, I hate it, I think it is stupid. I think watching it on TV is a huge waste of time. But for those that play it and watch it on TV are not clowns. I do not think of them as clowns.
So I had friends that would say stuff like you just did, not calling one a clown, but yak about wasting money, giving it to Jerry, blah, blah blah.
So I said let us compare, as the same people that played, many of them smoke as well. I never smoked.
So I said let's compare what we spend. I had high dollar tickets, $340 per game, 2 seats, parking, plus PSL cost, I was spending around $10K per year from 2009 through 2016, but from 2009 until 2013, I split the cost with a friend. And I rarely ate food at games, and only bought a few beers, or 1 large Dr. Pepper. So not much in food and drink.
So we figured up, as I told them to be honest about how much they spent on golf balls, and for those that smoked, how many packs a day. But of course they were not honest. Because I seen how much they smoke. How much did they spend on food and drink. And when they finished playing, they came to the bar and drank as well. they did this every week, sometimes twice.
When all said and done, they spent as much as I did, and some of them spent more. For the smokers, they dded another $3,000 to $5,000 a year on that habit alone.
So it is what one is willing to pay for entertainment.
