Come on you guys, if this hobby was easy everyone would do it. It isn't a cheep hobby at all. This hobby does require time as well.
As far as the LFS and club support, That I think is a hole other thread.
I do get bummed at least once a year for the time I have to spend.
If you think this hobby is bumming you out to much, sell your live stock, dry your rock and store your equipment in the garage. After a year take another look at it.
Try and keep your head up guys this isn't a easy time right now.
