I purchased a 1995 caddy sts, Was going to get custome paint and everything. Fixing everything else killed me tho, finally got it on the road was saving for the custom paint job (dead bodies climbing up from under it, had it all drawn out) and I blew a header... Got so frustrated said screw it and sold it hahah.

why is this what everyone says?

im pretty much poor..and i find ways to keep all 11 of my tanks up and healthy.

I buy big lots of stuff..piles and totes full fish equipment for cheap,

last summer i picked up 2 different groups of stuff for 50$ each sold of everything made money and kept what i needed Iv picked up all of my canister filters like this. Most of my tanks were free of under 1$ per gallon ..i just wait for deals on what im looking for to come up or I don't get it. The fish in my tanks cost more than my tanks and equipment did combined.

i don't buy filter pads i buy polly fill at 5$ a bag that lasts me 6 months, I buy pond prime, one 20$ bottle lasts me 6 months or better.

i make most of my own food or raise it my self, i buy food in bulk when on sale.

really there are tons of ways to make this hobby cheaper.

I live on a fixed income ...WAY less than many people on this forum make in a week, my tanks range from 65-3 gallons, nearly all of them planted.

so yes..there are ways to make it cheap with out getting out of the hobby

Ya no doubt car restoring or modifying cars is way more expensive then fish keeping. Modifying car costs gets in the 50k or more range...Myself I've dumped way too much money into car modding...Also I use to hit the race tracks couple times a month with a heavily modified s2000 at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Seattle and it cost me nearly $600-$700 each time I went. Cost includes track time, gas, car maintenance after racing. Then there's brake pads and tires cost. After 2-3 years racing I ended up selling the car and retired. It was just too expensive to continue with it but it was a blast:) Let alone fish keeping can get expensive but it's no where near the cost compared to some other hobbies out there.
