I was contemplated moving to a hobbyist hot spot to dive knees deep into the hobby for a couple of years, but I was curious how much some more veteran hobbyists spend on average in a year on the hobby.

Some guys only see a hooker once a year...others see them everyday.

i spend my discretionary income at my discretion..

I've long thought that if I were the wife of a very active hobbyist, it is not the extramarital sex that would piss me off, it's the amount of money spent on the extramarital sex that would send me over the edge.    

I see amongst veteran hobbyists who have very high disposable income is burnout.  

hey Tigerface  I am just curious  where you consider hobbyist hot spots ? like whats your five top hobbiest hotspots you would like to move and why?

and as for ATM's I don't really use them that often, whenever I collect from my bookie, or win a few bucks at a casino, or otherwise come into a few grand in cash it goes in a drawer becomes as Charlie Harper would say "Hooker money" lol

I will occasionally burn out after going on a "drunken fuck fest" but I think it's more to do with the hangover than too much sex, as after a day or two of abstinence a stiff breeze will give me a woody and I am right back in the saddle again, and this is after many, many years of doing this.

but your point is valid, everyone should do what suits their appetite and budget, keeping up with the Joneses is a fool's errand.

I try to stay within $500/wk. sometimes I do ok, sometimes not.  

I'd like to know the answer to this one too.  I'm assuming the OP is either from the greater Los Angeles area or at least visits it.  To me this is a pretty damn good area to hobby.  There are quality women in pretty much any price range.  

The only burnout I have experienced is baseball burnout in September.  

30 to 70 K......wow

Like someone has already mentioned: don't worry about what others spend.

Save it for your old age and you will enjoy it more then.

Were she ever to find out, Mrs. Krinn would definitely be far more PO'd about the $$ than the actual activity itself.

But as the saying goes:  If a man can't get it at home, sooner or later, he's going to get it somewhere else....

Not trying to shift responsibility to anyone but myself here; just the cold hard truth..

i was considering LA as my number 1 place to move for hobby purposes and Otherwise.  Spending 70k a year on hobbying would put me near the redline for expenses for leisure activities but I think going on a bender like that for a year or two would give me enough memories to last a lifetime.  I think I'm one of the youngest hobbyists out there and I think I would enjoy it now more than later when I want to settle down and be a faithful family man I suppose lol.

That's liking saying I want to be a raging alcoholic or junky for a couple years, then I'll just stop and settle down. Good luck with that. It's habit forming. IMHO you'll enjoy it more when you are older 'cause those hot young ladies that check you out now won't be so interested when your in the "muddle" of a mid-life crisis.

Between NCAA and NFL football, plus baseball, my betting tends to spike into the area where it's more than just "entertainment". Of course it's only a problem when I am losing, last year I made bank during that period, but when your luck is bad, more does not equal better. lol

That is one of the things that I like about Costa Rica, I can indulge in all my vices, I can drink like a fish, fuck as many hot looking chicas as I can possibly imagine, and watch every game I want, all without traveling more than a block from my hotel. No wonder I keep going back.

When my wife found out-she was super pissed about both---and remains so -  brings it up from time to time!!  Women have Loooooooooong Memories!!

than a guy making $100,000 with a family can afford a lousy five grand.

It's all relative to how much disposable income a person has, which includes his other obligations just as much as his income.

I am almost embarrassed about how much money I piss away, but being divorced with no kids I am not taking food off any one else's table no matter how much I spend, I could spend half of what I make on pussy and not be hurting a soul. I don't, but I could. lol

With a seventy thousand dollar "fuck you" budget, and a desire to "create some memories", you might want to consider taking a trip out of the country everymonth of so to a real hobby destination.

For the last several years I have been taking at least monthly trips to place like Costa Rica and Colombia where you can really blow it out without breaking the bank.

Take Costa Rica for example, it's only a four hour flight from most major airports, I usually blow about five grand on a typical three to four day blow out, but you can have a great time on half as much. To give you an idea on costs, figure less than a grand for airfare, a hundred bucks a night for a hotel room, lets say a hundred bucks a day for eats and drinks, three chicas a day at $100 apiece, and voilla, you've got a three day, nine girl blowout for $2,500. Do that twice a month and you'll still be well within your budget.
