You think this is bad, wait until you start jumping out of planes and discover what that costs, and how addictive it can be.
I met a girl who'd been a Wall St trader, she went to do a tandem jump with her colleagues one Saturday, went back the next day and did 2 more, then her AFF course. 6 months after that, she'd sold the BMW, the Manhattan apartment and was living in a trailer on a drop zone in Arizona, jumping every day.
I hate to think of the many, many thousands of pounds I've spent in airtime and equipment over the years, probably around 10k.

Worth every penny though!
