Pinball is the reason to buy a new house. for me anyway. You run out of room, have to buy a bigger house to hold more games.
And for those that say it costs 30k to live, with no wife, no kids and house paid off? I call bullshit. I can survive making 9-12k a year, with house payments, and a wife and kid, sure the hell doesn't cost 30k when your only expenses, are property tax, food, utilities and gas. Unless you bought a bunch of shit you didn't need and making payments on it.
