Toys For The Big Bucks Boys

• Sunday April 16, 2006 in: Toys For The Boys Tag(s):

  Show me a guy who says he doesn't daydream about getting the latest gadgets and toys and I'll show you a guy with a really bad case of denial.

  Let's face it, we guys drool over cool stuff like the latest all terrain vehicle, a new set of golf clubs, or the upcoming Playstation 3, which is slated for release later this year. Unfortunately, that's the only thing most of us could do: drool.

  Truth is, "toys for the big boys "also translates as "toys for the big bucks boys". The damn things are so pricey that getting a third job seems to be the only way for us regular guys to get our hands on them.

  Take the PS3 for example. It is expected to cost at least $400 dollars when it hits stores in November. Want a new set of golf clubs that would make Tiger Woods proud? Then get ready to be set back by a few thousand bucks, as it would cost you something like $150 for a bag, $100 per iron and $200 to $500 per wood.

  If the small stuff are that expensive, I shudder to think how much the jetskis, fancy cars and pleasure yachts many of us dream about would cost. An arm and a leg perhaps, but in today's world of skyrocketing oil prices, we would probably need to throw in the other arm and leg to do the trick.

  Or, we could follow some of these tips on how big boys pay for their toys.
