Definitely money is the main reason! I do get lucky with dollar bowl games on Mondays, but the most I bowl is 3 times a week with only 3 or 4 games each day.
Money & Age, I'm 49.
Prior to last year, I bowled twice a week as a regular, Monday's (mixed) & Wednesday's (Men's). On Monday, I got really anxious and cannot wait to bowl Wednesday. The worse was waiting from Wednesday to Monday. Last year, I was asked to sub on Tuesday, but ended up bowling as a regular. During the summer, I was asked to bowl in a league at a different house on Thursday. It sounded uncertain, so I figured they weren't going to start a team. The day before the league started, I got a call to bowl. I figured, another league wouldn't be bad. I also subbed Tuesday, at a later league, but that was every other Tuesday. I also subbed on Friday's, but very rarely. So I ended up bowling 4 times a week. This was the worse thing I ever did. I bowled well Monday & Tuesday, but scores plummeted on my Wednesday & Thursday. Part of the blame was also my release. I was trying to muscle my shots, thus tiring me easier. Not doing well in a league, meant, not much money. So I gave up the other leagues and came back to normal Monday & Wednesday league.

My low back/left hip act up and it prevents me from bending or lifting heavy objects.

Right now an injury has kept me out for 5 weeks.
But normally the need for a happy marriage, means more then 2 leagues a week is out of the question.
Time and money. - Actually time is the only real excuse. I can bowl $1.75 per game daytime $2.50 per game nights. I go as often as I can. If I have a little time, I drop in for a quick 20 minute practice game.
I live by three simples rules:
1. Don't ever ask about my business
2. Never discuss business at the table
3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family
