Why are glider pilots such cheapskates? - they'll spend 100k on a ship

Some of us are cheapskates because we can't afford anything else.
I fly an $11,000 glider that I have owned for almost 10 years, Drive a
$1,500 Car.
Last year I paid...
$144 Insurance
$64 SSA Membership
$75 Annual
$10 State Registration
$550 for Glider Tows.
for a yearly total budget of about $843
I would love to have SeeYou but it costs almost 21% of my annual
soaring budget.

Yeah, yeah,
I should give up on this flight instruction thing and get a real job.
But I have some much fun doing it.
