Would you consider adopting a family of 3? At least 2 of them are very very cute. We want the enjoyment of your tanks without the budget.

Besides livestock purchases, most of that was upkeep stuff. If you take a look over the list, very little was fun additions.

Post 100 is my year to the end of March. This month is much "tamer" which is true to form in this hobby. Some months you'll hardly spend anything. Some months you'll spend a lot on fun things. Some months you will spend a lot on necessities or to replace things.

I just saw it. I used to do what you are doing but I had to stop. It's better for me to be in denial on how much I spend.

Heh, it is what it is.
But now the good thing is, both Hubby and I are involved in the hobby. That means we get to spend twice as much! This is the household hobby. All our other hobbies even tie into this one. Some peeps on here have spouses that have their own expensive hobbies. That's how I justify it... LOL.
I don't know who I would be if all of a sudden I had to stop the hobby......
It's a frail concept to build a life around... but yet it is so.
