It is all about priorities and passion. My friends cannot believe how much my bicycles and guns cost, but that is because they are not passionate about either. One friend asked me what is the difference between his $200 bike and my $8,000 bike. Frankly, there is no comparison. His will do just fine for riding on asphalt bike trails, but you would never catch me drafting a truck at 45 mph on that thing. He just cannot understand the difference. Same goes for my guns. When I tell my friends what I spend on them, they think the guns should break the targets themselves.

The next time one of them comes up with some stupid remark like the bike should pedal itself and the gun should aim itself, I am going to ask them if their $50,000+ car drives itself.

I still wouldn't pay somebody to train my dog, because that is somethng I want to do myself. Kind of like why I change my own oil. I could easily pay somebody to do that, but I like doing it myself because I enjoy working on cars. So, if I had $10,000 to spend, it wouldn't be on training my dog. That would go towards a bike, a gun, a new car, a college fund for my kids, or an investment, before it went towards training my dog.
