Honestly, the best answer you could have given. Haha!Because it’s winter and I’m not fishing or shooting much. Instead, I’m sitting around reading about fishing and shooting and looking at stuff on line.
Needs a centerpin reel.This is probably the most efficient bobber rod.

For sure! Some of us buy stuff for recreation making it Christmas every week! Watching snow accumulate is not a rewarding activity but buying stuff that you look forward to using soon is. I bought a new 6 wt recently in anticipation of fishing a lake where the fish routinely run 20 + inches and were a handful on a 5 wt last year. A little more leverage will get those monsters to the boat a little easier.
My first “rod” was a long bamboo pole, just hold it over the water and catch fish! What was once old, is new again.I think I’ll build a 20’ 5 wt bamboo indicator rod so I won’t even have to cast.......
Going full auto!Or one of these.

I try to not drink anymore beer than I need, I quit smoking about 30 years ago. I rode a Honda motorcycle for a while but gave it up when I did a wheelie in the middle of an intersection. That was over 50 years ago. After giving up all that shit, I still didn't have anymore money. I just spent it on fishing gear. Now a days I can't afford to waste any money.I spent most of my money on beer, cigarettes, beer, loose women, beer, motorcycles, beer and fishing gear. The rest I just wasted.
This was my first fly reel!Or one of these.
