Review Hobby or Habit?

[Albertaman]

As the holiday season and the renewal of the winter travel season (after skipping one or two) draws closer, hobbyists might want to do a quick assessment of their financial priorities. Wouldn't be allowed to post this on CAF for sure. A hobby enhances our life experiences and has a positive impact on our mental and physical health and on our outlook on life. A habit, especially one that drains people financially, does not have a positive impact. How to know the difference? I always ask myself, will my next massage appointment result in enjoyment that will stay with me for the days that follow? If the joy evaporates immediately, chances are that the appointment was a result of an useless habit. Sometimes it is useful to not make that next appointment out of habit. Become more selective about how we spend money, who we spend it on. Develop other aspects of your life experiences. Invest. Save. And book our next massage appointment with more care. Make it a productive hobby, not a draining hobby.

Salut.

I have asked myself the same question many times - this year I found myself reducing my alcohol consumption in order to justify that I could see a regular mpa (habit) and also try a different one every week (hobby). Not sure what to cut out next year as two sessions at home a week are also required three times a month. Can’t give up the energy drinks or vitamin supplements. In all seriousness- this is a valid ponder as we try to help one another in various ways in these discussions that we have. Cheers all. Salut

I have found over the last couple years that I truly enjoy the hobby and the thrill of a new provider or “corrupting” a legit, it’s when I see the same provider too regularly that it begins to feel routine and the joy doesn’t stay with me for nearly as long. As somebody who only enjoys Caucasian providers, the hunt is a little harder lately to avoid repeats or disappointing providers, but if the hunt keeps it a healthy hobby then consider me a hunter!

There is also tremendous empowerment in Not making that next useless habit driven appointment, that is a waste of time and money, and putting the funds aside for a more selective one later that is far more rewarding and supportive of one's changing needs. Meaning, it's not such a bad idea to become more focused, and stop wasting funds on mediocre and boring massage sessions. Fewer but higher quality sessions equals better living.

As a retired pensioner , my visits have been a lot less frequent
I am VERY more selective now that my hobby funds have decreased and cannot waste my money on mediocre and boring massage sessions .
I have been doing more walk outs . I prefer the Variety pack and very much enjoy new providers.
I am old but I am not DEAD

I hear you Bullet. I went from a 2-3 times a week to 2 times a month. This used to be a $ 15,000 - 20,000 year hobby/habit. Now I look for quality. Still the occasional wild card is fun.
Mostly spend the pension at RT.
