I agree with the general consensus. It is all in how you want to play the game. The problem comes when your wants far surpass your means. This happens to be the case for me. I am just lucky that my Dad wants to build a cool project and I get to be involved. I have a 69 Camaro with 20k original miles on it my dad and I restored 20 years ago. I would love to redo it, but..... One sub-100K income, 2 1/2 year old twins yada yada yada. Sound familiar? So they say patience is a virtue, I'm counting on it. I will enjoy the car the way it is until I can do more. Until then, I will enjoy helping my dad spend my inheritance!!!! LOL
It is not a rich man's hobby per say, but as with most things I would definately like to try it as a rich man! Hang in there Max and breathe before you ignite the keyboard. You'll work it out.
