If someone is actually interested enough to ask, I'll tell them, but it's not usually something that comes up.

But the whole concept applies to most hobbies and interests, if it's not something you personally care about it seems insane to spend thousands that will never be recouped. Perfect example for me is horses. In the jumping you can expect to pay $30k+ for a decent young prospect ($100,000 and up for proven talent). Which is why I showed the hubby a lot of ads for jumpers the day before I showed him the ad where I'd found my axanthic pastel girl listed, after seeing those prices he felt like she was a bargain.
