Not including cues, how much do you spend per month?

[DAVE_M]

How much do you spend per month on pool related items, excluding cues (I.E. Shafts, Cases, Tip Tools, Tips, Apparel, Table Time)?

In the last month I've bought:
McDermott G-Core Shaft $100
Tiger Le Manifik Tip Tool $20
Shaft cleaner/burnishers $10
Table Time $20-30

So not toooo too bad. I was eyeing a cue, but with Christmas presents and 6 nieces/nephews I decided against it.

I've spent almost 30,000 in the last 6 months for this silly game, so $5000 a month.... I bought a GC1 table.....but low&behold, then I had to build a room to put it in. Since completion, I've spent nothing.

before i vote i got a question since you included table time.

does your poll include league fees and tabs for food and drinks at the pool hall ?

I figured league fees along with tabs went with table time. By table time I mean just about everything spent in the pool hall.

GCII- $300.00
Modify sub-rails- $600.00
Simonis- $300.00
Artemis cushions- $300.00
Centennials- $230.00
Delta 13- $120.00
Brunswick light- $550.00
Aramith tournament ball set- $230.00
Measle cue ball- $25.00
Misc. including leagues, tournaments, and feeding pool tables with quarters $1500.00 over last 2 years 3 months since I started playing pool (rough guess)
$4155.00 divided by 27 months=$153.88 per month but I expect that to go down because of the table investment unless I get to put an addition on our house for a main floor pool room in which case I would want to make it large enough to also fit a 7ft. Diamond

How the f* do you get away with $20-30/month on table time? Is most of your time spent on private tables or during league hours or something? One night at the pool hall would be $20+ in table time around my area.

120.00 month table time unlimited at local room
56.00 - 70.00 2 leagues per wk
28.00 - 35.00 weekly Sr. Event

So close to 200.00 month. No wonder I can not afford to buy a better player

Oh... For some reason I thought we doing an average over the year, excluding cues (which I just assumed meant shafts, too).

That being said,... I'm closer to somewhere between two and much.

BCA I9, $64

Poolhall, $400
