In my 20's I used to drink and smoke - $$. In my 30's I drank, smoked and took up golf - $$$. In my 40's I quit drinking and smoking and played a lot more golf - $$$$. All along I have been flight simming since my first IBM PS/2, maybe XT, I can't remember. Now In my 50's I am down to P3D and soon FS2020. No golf, no booze, no butts. Been with my wife all along and the $120 for the hours of enjoyment I will get from FS2020 is a mere drop in the bucket compared to any hobby I can think of. Don't know why I posted this but I do know that it has been, and will continue to be, a great time to be around to see the evolution of this hobby of ours (with the exception of Microsoft Flight)!
