War on terror kinda kinked my schedule, I paid out of pocket for my MBA, I went on several once-in-a-lifetime vacations, and got my pilot's license..

kai2k1 0 #32 September 20, 2004 I traded a nice set of golf clubs to the DZO to put myself through part of AFF. As it turns out I probably couldn't have made the Senior Tour when i turned 50 anywayOther than that, Everything i have spent on skydiving has come from working overtime.

justchrisdsp 0 #34 September 20, 2004 i think its all about what you value in life, i personally live with my parents, im still in school to get a bs in nursing, and i jump with my dad, but recently i sold a bunch of stuff to help my dad pay for my rig, while i understand that people have different priorities for things to do my main priority is 1st school and 2nd jumpin with my father, i feel that i would give up almost anything for those jumps with my dad(however unpretty they might be). i believe that living life is an individual thing, while you do need other people in your life the value of your life is solely up to you, i forget who but one of yall posted about traveling with your daughter, im sureyou would sell every object you owned that was worth money for that experience, i would gladly give up everything i own for those kind of experiences with my father, there shouldnt be people trying to tell others that there is more to life than skydiving, to you there may be, to others there might not, to me there is my family, my family just happens to be in skydiving, and by family i dont just mean those directly related to me, i mean those that i see every weekend at the dz and who, at least at skydive al, would do anything to help each other, thats why i can justify hocking personally useless things to jump. but i understand how it is different for other people The only bad skydive is your last! chris "sonic wookie" harwell Piedra-belluda-roja Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeBobinNC 0 #36 September 20, 2004 Fair enough, hatchet buried. I am not willing to live in a tent to continue to skydive either. It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #37 September 20, 2004 I sold my shitty electric bass and amp. Only got about $200 for it, but it was what I needed to put myself over the top for a rig and I had hardly played it in a year anyway. I would have ended up selling anyway it just because it took up too much space in my dorm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #38 September 20, 2004 well said guys! I haven't sold anything yet, but I have been thinking about pawning off my old French violin w/ ivory-handled bow in order to help pay for my first rig. The only prob is my dad wants to keep the violin in the family for his grandkids to play ( which he doesn't have any yet). I think selling things is a great way to come up w/ jump $, I personally am not materialistic and want to live more of a hippie/gypsy-type of lifestyle. Who wants to have a lot of possessions anyway? I will have clothes, a cell phone, and a few things here and there, but I would rather have money to travel and skydive than own a bunch of stuff that I can't take with me when I die.
