Money for the Addiction

I was spending my hard earned $ on my knife habit, which was bad. Knives are better than cocaine but not as slimming. Now, I've decided to fill a big water bottle full of leftover change, sell knives I don't use and still take $ out of my earnings. Just not as much. Hoping this water jug full of coins, about half full now, provides some good roi.
 
The collection of guns, knives and watches has grown to the point that I won't buy one without selling one. Been in this game for 35 years and it just makes since.
 
My overtime and side jobs are my toy money whether I buy knives, guns, and or hunting/fishing.
 
If you do anything that does not directly impact sustainment of your life, then you have discretionary income; and it becomes a question of on what you're going to spend it. I use knives to discipline my other discretionary spending....for example, if you smoke, let's say you spend $X per day on cigarettes. Calculate the number of days that it would take not smoking to save for the cost of a particular knife that you really want. I love knives, so I find it a wonderful motivator to revamp discretionary spending habits. Think about how nice it will be to get something solid that you really want to get you through those days when you might habitually reach for something that only provides fleeting gratification.
