I'm m looking to buy a drone, haven't decided what price range yet. they go from $40 to over $1000 but I'm leaning towards the $40 pricepoint. Just curious if any of you have a toy in your crosshairs?

Toys?

Nah. Not really into "toys". We're much more likely to spend money on experiences at this point in our lives. I'm typing this message from a hotel just outside of Grand Canyon National Park. We spent yesterday and today hiking and exploring the canyon. That's where I'd rather spend my money. Nothing wrong with toys, certainly. There just isn't anything I particularly care about.Steve

Speaking of "toys", very often "toys" drastically lose value after you purchase them. For example, how much would a used $40 dollar drone fetch at a garage sale? Five bucks? A buck?
If you want to be financially healthy it makes more sense to invest your money in appreciating, not depreciating assets.james.c.hendrickson@gmail.com

I think the $500+ drones are for people into aerial videography/photography. They are also more crash prone since some has auto pilot functions(even will fly back to the charging station before runs out of power automatically).
If you are not into all that, then a drone under 100 will do. Play with it until you are sick of it.

more guns.
some interests - 454 casull revolver. my father likes to go fishing in Alaska, and I'm trying to spend more time with him. been around bears, which can be dangerous, but they do tend to avoid people. nowadays I prefer to be better prepared than to have begging the bear to stop biting me as my only resort. So I'd bring that as a defensive piece.

Perhaps Singuy's post was supposed to say "crash-proof".Steve
