    Yessir. I have expensive taste and apparently I'm a glutton for punishment, because funding saltwater aquariums and car parts is hard to do at the same time without my wife deciding to murder me and sell all of my stuff.

    Why couldn't I have cheaper interests?

    Haha yeah me too. I have stayed away from video games lately as I get rather addicted to them and wind up playing Call of Duty or some MMORPG all the time that I'm not at work. Not healthy haha. God help me when the KOTOR MMORPG comes out.

    Commonplace. I'm always in trouble because the tank lol. Currently I'm in trouble because I maxed out a credit card for stuff for the tank. I am not allowed to get anything else until I bring the balance down. 8)

    I do believe this hobby is an addiction as well. I just couldn't resist the urge to buy corals this month. I made it until the 19th of the month :LolLolLol

    Luckily my husband put in a budget for the tank into our budget :) he's so great!
