Retire

[Alexei]

For those who care, I am now announcing my retirement from the hobby. I went to S1 for the last time today and saw Kelly and after that, I decided to quit before I go bankrupt. Since I first started going to see MP whist in University I have over the years seen probably over 50 girls and spent close to $50000. I find myself always in debt and always re-financing my debt again and again. Recently I bought a new car and now I have car payments as well as car insurance every month and I have decided that I can no longer afford this very expensive hobby. THank you guys for all your reviews - i hope to come back maybe in 3 years time when my car financing ends. Good luck and have fun. And keep Kelly busy for me.

Always remember this is a hobby! Don't come back when your car payments end, come back when you have a good life and a little, or a lot, of disposable income. Then only spend that much. Once a day or once a year. It's the only way. Good luck with you're retirement.

Hi,

have you considered a more medical approach for your problem... what you descibe sounds very much like a mild version of OCD or for that matter any addiction... drugs with older [prozac,luvox] or newer SSRIs [don't have negative effects on sexual desire] are quite useful.. and then there is clomipramine...

Such drugs are quite effective at breaking the complulsive need to do things.. I mean.. from your post I can see that you had problems with money and your hobby before...

Maybe you might want to consult a well read and friendly doctor? I do hope that things turn out ok for you

I notice that a few people have publicly announced their retirement lately. Well, good for you guys whether you are doing it for financial reason or your significant other.

juunbug25, I hope you had a great time with Kelly and ended your hobby on a good note for now.

This can get expensive...I owed $20Gs at one point when I quit for awhile.

Working back up to it myself. In fact, a new career might be coming for me that may offer the chance to hobby again...just in more limited a capacity.
