Golf, soda, cigarettes, newspapers, and beer. Seriously? I've never felt so disconnected from the typical "American Male", nor have I ever been so proud to feel that disconnected.

Maybe if "soda", "cigarettes", "beer", and "bars" were a bit farther down the list, "gyms" wouldn't need to be so high?

(Who still reads newspapers?)

You're not alone. I spend exactly zero on all of those as well. Opiates of the modern American man?

For Golf there's large costs involved to get going and then continue, hence not that many people could be playing it, but still it has a high cost. Off the top of my head the costs would be something like: course/club membership fees, round fees, golf equipment (clubs, bag, clothes). So you can easily end up spending $1000's per year on the activity.
