A Costly Hobby
Do you have a productive hobby that pays for itself?
John Melling, started building the 30-foot Trimaran yacht in his back garden five years ago, but it has now outgrown its home and is proving a problem to move.
Mr Melling, built the yacht so that he and wife can enjoy sailing after he retires. He is even thinking of racing it, but right now the challenge is getting it out of the garden. He will have to remove a fence and hire a crane and flatbed to get this duck in the water.
I make my own beer and some wine for a few years now. Because of the method I use, it costs me about 50 cents for a great bottle of Irish Stout and between $2 and $3 dollars for some average table wine. The price could be lower, but I cut corners to save on time. The wine takes up to a year to age and the beer takes about three weeks from starting to be perfect for drinking. They make great Christmas gifts and lower my grocery bill.
Do you have any hobbies that could earn a profit or save you money?
