What are some of your unconventional or alternative methods used to fund this lifestyle and hobby? That don't generally include income from your job or business. Mine personally, a favorite, is playing high limit Blackjack. I can't say it always works out, but more often than not, I take a good 3-5k into the casino, and play that up to 10-12k, and build up a nice fund to meet some of my favorites over a weekend trip to LA, on the house.
