How do you afford this?

[RyanMcLaughlin]

I know this is kind of personal, but what do you guys do for a living to be able to afford this? Just wondering.

Don't have children. You can save a lot of money that way.

DIY. Saves lots of money. Plus you can lean what is and isn't necessary, plus you can build up slowly over the years.

:lol:

That'll definitely save some cash...

No kids, I don't drink = extra cashola for the fish tank.

When my friends come over and they're like, "whoa, how much did this cost?" I say about 6-8 months of drinking for you And I'm usually pretty close

Ditto on this, I just prioritize. Chicago cost of living is probably half of LA. I'm single, and I used to go out to bars, etc. a lot, but since I've started reefing I've lost interest. A bottle of vodka and a bouncer kissing your ***, or a vortech, hmmm, I'll take the vortech

I've remodeled my basement and collected my equipment over a period of almost five years now on a budget, but it is almost ready for saltwater. I also had the help of a few very good friends with the engineering and building of the equipment room.

I also do not have children and work extra when I can for spare cash.

Credit baby, credit...

Stop buying starbuck coffee, stop drink beer or hard liquor, pack your lunch instead of eating out. All that save lots of money

Nobody ever said they could afford it....lol.

It's like the subprime loan mess. No income check....
