You can add airplane to that also. Try buying parts for those at a discount! Wife came down with breast cancer at 27 years of age and sold all the toys real quickly. Long time ago and I have recovered now, with a new wife and finally some savings account. Getting the toys all over again, but staying away from the plane part! LOL

Cute dogs. I did laugh when I saw the cushions and back splash and wondered how many posters here recognize those patterns and colors.
The views expressed may not be mine in five minutes.

+1! LOL!!
Boat = hole in the water where money just disappears!
We sold ours a few years ago and came out okay. We used to use it ALL THE TIME, but when we moved, access to water became a lot harder. Hated to get rid of it, and I miss it often. The camper makes up for that somewhat.

Yes I have friends with planes and the costs are considerable. Aviation gas, which aint cheap, yearly inspections, Detailed ongoing maintanance, insurance, hangar fees, etc....

When I was still flying, 3 of my buddies formed an LLC with me so we could share all of the costs of owning and operating our Cessna. It was still too expensive for me to justify so they found someone to buy me out.

I put RV. We probably paid too much for our current trailer. We bought it in mid May. Due to personal circumstances we couldn't do it during the winter when we bought our previous trailers and got a better price. The result was we paid at least $1500 more than we would have liked, but in May they don't budge as much on the prices.
With cars I've always paid what I thought it was worth or better. Never felt like I paid too much.
