In order to keep up your Pool Habit.....What do you do to get extra Cash?

There is a beauty in pool without gambling

I think some of the pool community especially in the USA feel that they need to be a hustler in order to play pool and that is sad. Try to simply enjoy the game and you just might learn something...... get a job, get a reasonable life and enjoy the thrill of this game in all its challenges.

That's easy for you to say. You've never had to deal with all the crap that life has handed out to me.
Take my Daughter, for instance. What a piece of work. Why, she's been picked up so many times she's starting to grow handles.
All her friends call her Fed-EX. When she goes to a guy's apartment she absolutely positively has to be there overnight.
And my Son. He's a keeper. He Scotch tapes worms to the sidewalk just to see the birds get hernias.
Last week his school had a Father and Son banquet. He took the Postman.
And my Wife. Forget about it. I bought a used car the other day. Her dress was in the back seat, for crying out loud.
And sex? We never have sex. Every time we take our clothes off we can't stop laughing.
I came home early the other day and the parrot said, "Quick, out the window!"
Enjoy the game with my kind of life? It's gonna be hard. :D


P.S. Thanks Rodney. You're one of my heroes.

I can afford my modest participation in the game.
My wife and I live below our income and never struggle with money.
Some people have $5.00 and spend $6.00.
We are the opposite.

You only have $6 and you spend $5 of it?
 
Not much.

I go out to my garage and shoot when ever I want to. When I get bored I go to a local dive for the Friday night tournament and shoot 9 Ball on a crumby bar box. I usually place in the top 3 so it provides some coin..

The place is smoky, the music is usually as loud as the drunk girls and most are just there to have fun.
 
Lately I might go to the pool hall once every 6 months to play. Maybe $20 for table time and a drink.

Then I might pay $20 for a stream every few months. ( DCC, US Open 9b, etc).

Will try to get a 9ft table soon. That will put a serious dent into my savings.

I have a stable and well-paying job.
I don't gamble. Never.
I properly allocate appropriate money to all of my hobbies.
I don't have expensive tastes or luxury crap, not even a TV or smartphone.
I save money to the bank whenever there's something left (yes I know - I'm crazy!)

Table time usually is around 40EUR / month incl. drinks.
Easy as that. No thinking necessary.

Cheers,
M

Sounds like my kinda place!! :thumbup:
 
I spend all my money on pool and drinking, cost me three wives...got home the other night after a four day binge, and while I was checking the answering machine I saw the cat heading for the front door with a little suitcase. He looks at me and laughingly says, "answering machine, really?, you don't even need a phone! BTW I'm outta here pr1ck!"

That is funny! I'm gonna steal it for another forum, and act like I was smart enough to come up with it on my own!
 
I come in with less than $300 into my 2 cues and case. Beers are $2.50 for tall boys and tables are open for Happy Hour! My spending is $7.50 + tips weekly. Less than almost any other enjoyment I can find. ;-)

I'm not a NIT, I'm just broke.

I need neither reasons nor justifications for my passionate pursuits in pooldom and simply make it a priority. At the top of my list reside those things that bring the most enjoyment. Makes life an adventure and pleasure every day. IMO, Life is too short to squander on necessities alone. Perspective. No "extra cash" required, since it comes out of the big pile first ;-)

(The above was written in a secret indecipherable code so my dear wife thinks it reads "I sell things I don't need for more crap I don't need" since pool is a passing fancy...)
