Total Spending and Annual Budget?

[curiosity]

Hi Collectors,

Just wanted to know if you all have ever maintained any track of the total spending on purchase of scale models till date and do you probably have something of an annual budget on the purchases to be done? Just thinking on these terms and buying scales have become very expensive(tell me what has not become expensive ).

Mods: I you feel this is not a relevant thread and would not be informative, please delete.

Nope never ever thought of doing a budget. I usually buy stuff according to my current finances. But recently I've stopped buying budget models, I buy less but prefer to go for the premium ones.

I dont want to know how much I have spent in the last one year. That said, Im sure I can buy a decent hatchback instead.

Guys, first of all please post without thinking if a topic is revelant or not. As long as we try to stay away from religion and politics, we are doing fine.
Ok, back to the topic. I might remember near about what I have paid for every model of mine but never kept a record. It will serve no purpose other than giving me a nervous breakdown when I am older. It would also serve as a record for my kids to show to the judge why their father should be kept in a mental asylum when he is older.

I have spent about 70,000 in the last 3 years from the time I started collecting in 2008. Kept a record of all the models purchased till now, their price, purchased from where, colour, type of car, etc.

LOL, you should be, Ravi!


The best part tho' is that you're still at it.

^^ Hahahaha! Thats hilarious Ravi!

+1 to what Winston said. I shudder to think of what I could have got instead with all that money- oh well! Maybe it wouldn't be as much fun and satisfying... Though I have to admit, that with the current prices, its becoming kinda hard to justify buying models.

But then, like most others here, I am trying to be selective in what I want.

Problem is.. I want too much!

lol@Ravi. No need to worry. Diecasts are classified as toys and no one can tandoori your arse for buying toys.
