People don't brew beer at home to save money, they do it to see if
they can and they continue because they like to say: I did that.
It's usually more expensive to make things yourself. It costs me as
much or more to sew a dress or knit a sweater (to say nothing of the
time I put in) as it would to just go to Macy's and buy whatever it is
I want. I was thinking Ladder Golf looked easy enough to make myself,
but when I thought about all the components + buying to tools to do
it, I decided it was easier and cheaper just to buy the game.
