Since joining this forum I have spent a heap of money on kilts, belts, hose, matching shoes, shirts, jackets, sporrans, hats, flags, posters, kilt pins, whisky, trips to Scotland, celtic events, scottish music, CD's DVD's ...the list goes on.
and what do I get for the money??
not much....freedom, enjoyment, fun, fulfillment.

Ah, but Graham, I did all that years before I found Xmarks but thanks for the warning anyway.

That goes for me too Chris. I really do not know what all the fuss is about - all these other guys still have such a long way to go, don't you think?!

I do indeed and that's not even counting the long nights watching for moths with a fly swatter and hoping that none got past the perimiter guard and got to your woolens!

If your addicted and broke there is a way out.Heres what you do:buy your son some pet sheep,your daughter a spinning wheel,your wife a loom and a sewing machine for yourself.Voila,no more overspending on kilts, you can have the tartans of your choice and sell the surplus to buy accessories.

Hello, my name is Gary and I am a kilt addict.
I've turned a corner recently. In the last week on eBay there have been three different MoD kilts (good to excellent shape, original 22 oz, one even in my exact measurements) that I have not tried to place the winning bid on. Five more dollars, and I could have had any one of them. I showed willpower and restraint, and I am on the way to recovery.
Of course, I'm spending the money that would've bought a kilt and some to have Matt Newsome design a family tartan for me ... hey, healing is an ongoing process, darn it!

Might as well, man!....
When you die, you can't take it with you!

Well Blu, while I need to update my inventory, I guess I've spent about $4000 over the last 2-3 years on kilts and accessories.
I've spent the same on other things that have not nearly brought the same pleasure and had the same impact on my life.
Worth every penny!
Also, coming to know some of the kiltmakers here has saved a LOT of money (USAK, RKilts, Freedomkilts, Bear etc)
