Advice needed
« on: December 05, 2008, 05:58:07 PM »
I did a stock count and found that I have actually brought about 15 bowling balls this year...although I have sold some of them but I think I am spending way too much money on them. Actually I need only 3 balls for the leagues I bowl in. The rest are in the locker or with the Pro shop ready to be sold. Anyone here have this problem and how did you overcome it ? Thanks !

You're a lightweight dude.  I bought or traded for 15 in the last month.  I have enough balls in my garage to make most pro shops look lame.  I've just owned up to the fact that I have an addictive personality and I could be expressing it in a whole lot more destructive ways than buying and selling bowling balls.  

Seriously though, if it's truly causing you financial difficulty, just turn over control of the purse strings to someone else (i.e. wife, mother, father, brother, etc.).  If you don't have anyone who you can trust, just do what my wife did before we got married...she was awful at paying her bills on time so she hired a friend to manage her money.  Worked well for her, but it better be somebody you can trust.

Good luck and remember...you can never have too many bowling balls!

My problem is I've been bowling for since 1962 and have only gotten rid of four of my old balls.  --  JohnP
