Another addicted cry for help.....
i feel your pain reno. at my worst, i had almost 30 rc's and now i'm down to 5. i don't think i could give up anymore without going totally f***ing batty.
my wife generally approves because i gave up smoking, drinking and drugs for rc's, but she sees it as me replacing one addiction for the 3 i gave up.
i think what it comes down to is everyone of us who has a shit load of rc's has somewhat of an OCD disorder, and it's our way finding our "happy place where we can deal".
Now, i have one gorillamaxx G-4, an FLM-maxx, and 3 losi 8ights. one i race, one is a speed car and the other is a shelf queen.
like i said before, if i had to sell one more, i might go more crazy than i already am.
for me, i just had to stop spending when i saw the bank account start to shrink.
"no more fast food, no more nickel and diming. keep what you have and don't buy anymore" is what i told myself. it helped me ALOT. i was spending tons of money on ebay and when i stopped all of that and got outside and just enjoyed what i had, i saved alot of money.
i'm not so sure for all of us it's that we're addicted to the car or truck we want. it's that we're addicted to the rush of getting something new or different. you gotta reel that in bro. no good is gonna come from impulse spending.
which brings me to my next point.
if you walked away from the job for physical reasons like your back, then i totally agree with your decision.
if it was because you were in a "funk", then you gotta re-evaluate things and know that you're a grown man and shouldn't be walking away from any job unless you have another.
as most of us know, jobs are tough to find right now.
you could always try the police academy, firefighting or civil service. alot of my friends started great careers in those fields.
