I have a theory that people who take care of their finances are also more likely to take care of their health and maybe even other areas of their life.
I enjoy working out, French language study (my wife and I love traveling to France when we can afford it), family life, cycling and I'm developing a great interest in kayaking.

you wont believe mework, work & more work + I sleep less than 5-hours per night (its such a waste sleeping your life away)
Honest to goodness work is 100%+ enjoyable & healthy as long as you make it not be work
second (or is that first) is my wife & the every day stress free family life living it to the fullest
I spend way too much time on forums (one hour per day now)- its just way too much, but I do enjoy reading other peoples trials and tribulations

Swimming, Reading, Movies and NFL Football are my major non-financial, non-work hobbies these days.
I don't get to do as much these days but I used to regularly do the outdoors stuff: biking, hiking, snow shoeing etc.

Judging by the amount of fishing equipment I have accumulated I would have to say my faveourite pastime is fishing. Followed by golf.
My 3 most watched TV stations in order would be BNN, WFN (World Fishing Network) and the Golf Channel.

Kiteboarding, which was a progression from sailing and windsurfing.
Trying something new is terrific. Everytime I go kiteboarding, I make myself attempt a new "move". It doesn't come as easily at 60 as it does for the 20 year olds but it is very satisfying.
Too much time on the internet..."guilty" as well!

What , no other gardeners here?
I love gardening , I just built a greenhouse this year and have honeydew , cantaloupe , watermellon , tomatoes , and kiwis in it among other things.
My yard is so full of plants and garden structures that I had to rent the empty lot accross the road to grow more stuff.
In my own yard I have cherries , plums , quince , strawberries , rhubarb , grapes , and tons of trees and flowers.
I tend to get a little carried away with it.
And I build custom high performance trucks as well as attend all local car shows.

Keeping in shape (recently did a 1/2 marathon and 75km bike ride - not on same day, and going to Try a Tri in a couple of weeks. I'm a bad swimmer and I sink like a rock, so that will need some improvement before raceday.
Soccer and beach volleyball once a week in summer.
Tinkering around in the flower beds and 6x8 veggie garden.
Doing what my wife says.
Volunteering in public school through a PEO program.
Singing - looking to get back into choir activities when life slows down a bit (something tells me it never will).
Playing music somewhat - played drums in high school rock band, but those days are over now. I have an acoustic guitar - sometimes I even play it.
Doing anything with siblings/family.
Some travel. Spent a year in Belize with my family when I was 5, and it was neat to go back to the village a couple years ago and take a trip down memory lane.
Reckon there must be more things I enjoy doing, but that'll do for now.
