+JL_HSTRE Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 When I saw this thread title I was expecting the OP would be talking about quantity vs quality not Premium vs Basic. The main problem that if face is that i'm a poor student. Parent's aren't cachers. And i'm still in JR. HIGH. Your parents let you go geocaching by yourself when you're still in Junior High? Definitely something mine wouldn't have done. Try asking for a Premium Membership for Christmas or your birthday. Also, I recommend waiting until college before getting offended about segregation/entitlements/oppression/class warfare/etc. Link to comment
+The_Incredibles_ Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Looking at your find count spanning 4 years, premium membership would cost you $1 per cache. That's pretty steep, so I understand your disconnect with the fee. I don't think Geocaching is as big of a piece of your recreation time as it is for many of us. Premium membership probably doesn't make sense for you right now, certainly not for stats. If you ever start to cache more often, the other features are a great help. The main problem that if face is that i'm a poor student. Parent's aren't cachers. And i'm still in JR. HIGH. That's a lame excuse. My daughter is 12 and she has over $100 in her bank account. Just ask your parents what kind of chores you can do to earn $30. Link to comment
nostra-dumass Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think after I buy a cell phone I shouldn't have to pay $30+ every month for the service. seriously $30+ every month; what is the carrier doing with all that money? I want to sign up with your carrier...I'm paying $140/month. A lot of that expense is so I can connect to Geocaching.com as needed. Link to comment

+clan_Barron Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 what is Groundspeak doing with all this money Many of the Groundspeak volunteer Reviewers are dogs. The money goes toward subsidizing their doggy treats. I think you means hamsters and hamster upkeep is not cheap Link to comment
