I think that is an excuse most people use. I think the issue is much deeper than mear finances.

my girl thinks i'm stupid for spending so much on paintballing. But she knows i love it so all she really does is make fun of me. It's funny cause i got her younger brother addicted to the sport, and now he's spending also.

I've been in paintball for about four years now and I always spent alot of money on gun upgrades and supplies. The problem with this is my wife. I usually spend about 1000 a year just on markers. I'm getting my pewter X-Mag at the end of the month and she is going nuts cause I will have spent about 2g's on everything I want for it. I tell her I could be doing other things than playing paintball(if you know what I mean). Does anybody else have problems with a nagging wife or girlfriend (or even parents)about spending to much money on paintball?

My EX wife has no say in the matter any more
The only advice I can give is get a divorce, you will be sooooooo(!) much more happy and have lots of time to play paintball.

I've gotten my school to pay for all of my paintball costs! My parents have been congratulating me!

How did you manage that?

And my parents used to care.. At the very start.. But now they support it, because it's one of the few things me and my brother really enjoy doing, hell they even play sometimes, and they do like it..

My 'non paintball' friends though, they think it's stupid.. But it's the exact same as spending 1000 bucks on snowboard crap.. But I don't call that stupid..

Damn hipocrites (sp?)

my fiance thinks it's a lame excuse. but paintball is the onlt thing i'm really "good" at. i trade guns and equipment so she generally doesn't have much to say about it anymore. it really come down to spending time with the family.
she thinks i don't spend enough time with our kids and i say she's wrong. i spend as much time with the kid's as i do at work (at least eight hours a day). so what if i take 25.00 and five hours every two weeks, small price to pay to see my friends since i have basically none where we live now

... Here's what I've learned so far. In the beginning, my main goal was to find a girl with the same hobbies and interests. Which I did...

Then I bought a new dirtbike ($5100.00), and my fiancee rode it and loved it... and she went and picked out hers ($6500.00)... I bought a new mtn. bike ($2700.00), and she got hooked on the sport. So she wanted one too ($3600.00)... Oh it doesn't stop there. Over time we discovered we had more interest in common... It turns out we both love sport bikes (mine= '01 CBR 929... hers= '03 gsxr 750)... We also love off roading (my pre-runner wasn't her style, so she bought and lifted a Ford Expedition). This has been a pattern in our relationship, which recently turned to include paintball (She really liked my RT PRO... and her x-mag should be here anyday)

Yes, it's a fun relationship. We're in love, spiraling deeper and deeper into debt together. But the point is, we're together... and that's what matters.

My advice to you... find a girl with a cheep hobby or interest. Maybe one whose into books! You sign her up for the book of the month club, and she's happy for life... And when she wants to come out and play with you, say NO! She'll either hate the sport and nag you for doing it, or she'll love it and you'll have to outfit her with all the gear! It's a lose / lose situation...

And when she leaves you.. she'll leave YOU with the debt. Don't say it hasn't happened, or can't happen. It did to me. I'm STILL feeling the reprocussions of it, 6 years later.

Just ignore them guys when they start complainin just say "uhmmm..oh ok...allright...whatever u say.." Just do this and then a litle joke so that things get cooled a litle bit and the argument is over.
