How do you pay for your laser, and gear?

Just starting a thread about what you guys all do to make your make your money for sailing... I have a plow on my truck for winter, and in the summer work for a landscaper!
 
One thing I hate that most people do. Buy cheap foulies. Seriously. Spend a bit more money, buy the better brand (slam, henry loyd) and it will last longer, and be ALOT more comfortable.
 
I usually try and pay with money!

Every now and they I have to barter with wives and children, and occasionally sheep, but not to often.
 
you paid two sheep! you paid to much my friend!

I paid a sheep and a goat!

you really want a deal, at the Mexico shops they give them away for 12 chickens!
 
there's a reason my yard is so clean, it's full of sheep!

as far as women and children, I traded my stocked options

I promise you, if your yard is full of sheep, it is not clean!

Not sure what a "stocked option" is, but it must have been worth a lot. So how do you keep them. Do you feed and clothe them with the sheeps?
 
I dress up in a Girl Guide uniform and sell cookies in the spring.

In the winter, I stand outside the shopping center and ring a bell.

Seems to work.
 
"An XD kicker would make me so much faster, it really would, no really it would, they're really great, maybe I can get one second hand on ebay cause they are really expensive but it will make such a difference, oh I am so happy when I am sailing, and if I could just have that bit more control it would be perfect,the new kicker would do it, you know it has 15 to 1 purchase, I'll look on ebay, no, not one today, no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today,no, not one today, ...... Oh, OK dear if you are sure I'll order it from Rooster this afternoon."

I used to have a few lawns on the go which I would rake, shovel and mow and I would be forced to do a lot of housework... V_V but I recently just got a job as a cart boy at a [SIZE=-1]supermarket which I find is a very good job for me because I will be working outside(which I love) and it will be like a full body workout each day which will do a lot for my laser sailing.

Also a job at a local sailmaker might be in the mix too but.......

According to an email distributed to sailors at the 2001 Laser Masters Midwinters and claims made by Tim Landt during the 2001 East Coast North American Laser Class Annual meeting, I "misappropriated" $74,259 of the North American Laser Class funds.

Since nobody, including me, ever was able to find those funds, describe from where they were missing, or point to a scintilla of evidence that any such misappropriation occurred, I must admit. I still have personal access to every penny I ever misappropriated.
I also have all the money I ever stole from Fort Knox, The Vatican, and your little sister.

As it says above, I have never let any of those funds leave my control.

Therefore, all the money I have used to finance my sailing has come from the money I stole from schoool children who pass my house on their way to school, little old Ladies I have mugged in the park, lottery winnings, pimping, my modedling career, leaving false plastic teeth for Tooth Fairy, and ...

Once the above funds have run out...

The remainder has come from my repair shop customers.

Your back yard has to be running out of space to bury the coffee cans by now!
