It's all just money 
Can't take it with you when you go. Might as well spend it while you're here on something you enjoy doing. Some buy $40,000 bass boats. Some have thousands invested in RC airplanes or cars. I have a buddy that races drag cars on the weekends...he put $14,000 in his new motor over the winter and spends about $500 a race weekend, in hauling the car to the tracks, paying entree fees, then equipment costs and upkeep. He wins some and more often than not, goes home empty handed with a loss...but it's something he likes doing. I have the misfortune of having several hobbies....none of which are cheap. I'm into competition archery and have 4 bows right now, each one set for different classes of shooting...and each one having its own totally different setup. I could buy a Deus and CTX for what I have in my bows and equipment to work on them. But it's something my wife and I enjoy doing together and we do win a little $$ here and there in it. I never liked football or any other sports....hunting/fishing and archery were and are more of my speed...and digging is probably the least of my hobbies. I have less invested in it than I do the others.
A preacher friend of mine use to work at a funeral home as a funeral director. He tells a joke every once in a while about this old wealthy man had died and his last request was that ALL of his money be buried with him in his casket. The old man didn't have any family left and lived as a hermit and hated everybody and everything. So the funeral director granted his last request....and just prior to lowering him into the ground, they opened the casket, took all the money out, and wrote a check and put it in there with him.
