There is an airsoft group I was thinking of joining and thats free. However, I need my own equipment and its really expensive. At least $150 ($200 for a better than decent, but still not top quality) for the gun, $40 for enough pellets to last a good while with heavy use, and at least another $150 on the other equipment like clothes and gear.

So in general does having more money make you more social, or does it just seem that way? I'd be interested in people weighing in.



For me, having more money has made me more of a recluse. I can afford certain things now that allow me to be reclusive, when before I had to rely more human interaction for a certain level of entertainment.

It never made any difference for me. Places to go that involve spending money, I'd have to go alone, spend my time there alone, and feel like an a**hole.

Having food and a place to get out of the rain makes life easier, but that's all I've ever gotten out of having money.
