It might make my spending seem more reasonable. Last year (2006) I made such a calculation. I cannot say it was accurate as I do tend to spend cash also but it came to something like $6,000. So, dh nearly had a heart attack given that he only spent $2,000 on his hobby! My resolution, is to stay ignorant of the amount I spent!

I'm sure all that info would just depress me, this way I am happy !!!!! When I get my fabrics home, I immediately throw away the receipts. NO record keeping for me!!! DH is usually with me when I shop, so no secrets there and he has never said a thing about what I spend. Of course, I do know what disposable monies we have and definitely stay within that.<BR/>Hope you and yours havd a great 2008 and spend a lot of time Quilting Memories!

And $5 per hour doesn't seem so bad. I am impressed that you were able to keep those kind of stats.
