What's The Most Expensive Hobby In Lubbock?

I bet most people assume the most expensive hobby in Lubbock would be golfing, hunting, or perhaps even restoring old cars.

And sure, these hobbies will certainly drain your bank account, but they don't even compare to the cost of the most expensive hobby in Lubbock...

Not even close.

Can you guess what it is?

A Few Hints...

The real financial burden kind of sneaks up on you, one innocent text message at a time.

First, it's a birthday party.

Then, suddenly, you're buying concert tickets because "we all decided to go."

The next thing you know, an engagement. You'll need to buy a gift.

Then, of course, the wedding.

Then a baby shower.

Then another...and another...and another...because people LOVE babies...

Before you've recovered from that, you're already shelling out dough for Girl Scout cookies, buying up someone's kid's raffle tickets, and tossing a few bucks in the hat to raise money for a softball league. Oh, and don't forget your cousin's new small business, which somehow requires you to purchase new scented candles every six months, just to show you care.

Let's not forget the group dinners, fantasy football league, random road trips to gamble in New Mexico because someone is "feeling lucky," mealtrains, housewarming gifts, retirement party decorations for Ed from accounting...

The Most Expensive Hobby In Lubbock is...Friendship!

Those same expensive friends are the ones who come in clutch when you really need them. They bring you soup when you're sick, take care of your dogs when you go out of town, and they make an ordinary Tuesday way more fun and exciting. They are the people who laugh with us when we are happy and cry with us when we are sad.

They're worth every penny.
