How Much in Debt?

[higgite]

Debt is the most aggressively marketed product in the history of the world.
If you can't pay cash for toys or hobbies, you can't afford them.
Cars and trucks are toys BTW.


That's funny, unless you are serious.

I rarely seek financial advice from a reloading forum, but this thread seems to be an appropriate opportunity.

Any suggestions for a good stock to buy with borrowed money?

I did some purchasing of reloading supplies during the 2008-2010 shortages but prices were not too excessive and store inventories were low but not non-existant.

This time around, I have not needed to purchase reloading supplies and I would not pay the rediculous prices. At the excessive prices, I would not go into debt. I’d curltail my shooting.

I do use credit cards but the banks do not like me as the cards get paid off every month. I use the points to fly first class to the UK to visit my grandson, daughter, and son-in-law.

I wasn't seeking advice either. I was just curious what everyone is doing and why they are buying so much. One store doesn't care how many primers and powder you buy and they are selling 100 primers at $18-sleeve. I watched a guy buy the entire brick. Just saying I don't get the gotta have mentality. Its like Ooh, I see it and gonna buy it at any price so no one else does.

That’s why we also have lots of threads on powder substitution, primer substitution, load development, oal vs coal, etc. When the supplies we’re used to aren’t around we develop subs. I bought a bunch of new-to-me powders this go around but not at inflated prices. Why bother? But I like load development. It’s the most funnest part of reloading.

I’m going to pull a Rip Van Winkle…
Asking a question like this is going to be the same as reading all the online reviews for that GeeWhizBang thing you want to buy. Pretty soon it’s paralysis by analysis.

Wandered off topic, and I believe the OP got their answer.
