Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Home Theatre is not a hobby

These were the words uttered by my girlfriend when I was talking about how expensive this hobby can be.

I tried explaining it to her, but all she said was "Buying stuff isn't a hobby"

I was at a loss for words. The only good thing about the situation is that she likes the HT setup and doesn't mind having 5.1 speakers and a big screen in the living room.

She's still a keeper!

Wow, she sounds like my wife

Well, tell her to name a hobby in which you don’t have to buy something. I can’t think of one.
Even if your 'hobby' is sit down at the park and watch people pass-by, sooner or later youll have to incurr in some kind of expense (food, clothes ...)

Lots of stuff to buy here

That doesn't mean you NEED to buy anything.

Tell her that you are increasing your self worth and the escrow you have in life. You are making solid investments into technology as well as your relationship with her (as you will more than eagerly watch a movie with her about any time)....

Spin it, my friend, spin it!

LOL, very good, I'll have to remember that one I wonder if my wife would fall for those lines.

The google definition of a hobby is "a spare-time recreational pursuit." I believe that HT meets this definition.

Does she consider cooking a hobby? You still have to buy food.

But I have a feeling that you won't win this argument with her.
