Adazec 0 #1 February 14, 2004 I've noticed since I started jumping very very recently that everything I buy now has a different dollar value to me - jump money. Am I the only one that looks at a new pair of pants and think "now that'd cost me one jump" and put it back down? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcandalysse 0 #3 February 14, 2004 get used to it! Actually you will look at TWO pairs of pants, the new shirt AND the new shoes and think 'hmmm....that will almost pay for an altimeter... Or instead of new tires....."That will buy my jumpsuit and a used helmet....!'

selbbub78 0 #7 February 15, 2004 ya, i just recently had to get my car repaired (broken strut, and wheel barings, and new tires), and all I could think about was. "hmmm, this would buy me almost a brand new lightning". It made me sad that I had to shell out the money on my car (but she's happy now). It ONLY gets worse.

freeflir29 0 #9 February 15, 2004 I've gotten past the individual jumps now. It still kills me when I spend say $1000 or $1500 on whatever. I think...."Dammitt....there go's that Voodoo I've been wanting." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raefordite 0 #10 February 15, 2004 Just about all purchases are translated into either the number of jumps I could have made or what type of canopy/container that could have bought. It's an illness that most skydivers have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adazec 0 #11 February 16, 2004 Glad to see I'm not the only one out here - my non-jumping friends think I'm nuts. But they thought that when they heard of my first jump too. Here's to staying insane then! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
