How much of your disposable income do you spend on CE's / press kits a month?

[LowlyAssassin]

I work part time and after after monthly food shop, Bills ETC
all 100% of my disposable income goes on CE's which is like 200GBP
I just wondered how much others spent on collecting


[joke]
and also how we are all hoarders and have a mental condition that there is no cure for
[ /joke]
well that's how some people see it

varies month to month, i dont go out of my way to get anything to expensive, but november is usually the most expensive of the year for me about ?280 going on ce and that is prob the most i can afford any given month.

Me and my boyfriend spend probably 95-100% of our disposable income on CEs each month.

Probably less in the earlier months of the year where there are less expensive CEs due out, but the least we spend on CEs per month is probably around ?200 (GBP).

For an example, last month (from September 1st, to September 30th) our CE expenditure - only including preorders, there were other CE purchases made on top of this - we spent ?634.

Most months of the year, we couldn't really afford to spend that much, so I budgetbudgetbudget my ass off, to ensure that in the busy months, we can afford as much as possible.

That mostly went to shit this year though, so aiming to do better next year so I can make sure I don't miss out on much xx

vhal I thought you spent sooo much more what with. the size of your collection
I think I've gotta get a full time job to pay for this hobby

634 only includes what preorders we bought in September, there was around another 300 on top of that for other CE related purchases (maybe more).

Also, just remembered that that was also with me cancelling most of my early September items and losing out on quite a bit of my September spending money as I was at Gamescom in August So cancelled a lot of stuff to take spending money

This month, my preorder money is similar, around 700ish.

Between now (17th October) and Christmas, I've got around ?1650 worth of preorders to pay for (again, not including other CE purchases that aren't preorders) xx

[LowlyAssassin]

yea that is a lot of money you spend there
makes what I spend seem tiny

[vhal_x]

Lol, I'm sure I'm not even the biggest spender on here per month *cough* BIGGAV4000's console addiction *cough* xx

[LowlyAssassin]

true.

[NaughtyDogJames]

Yeah but one of Gavs console could cost more than I spend in a year and he buys atleast one a month.

For the past 2 months I spent a total of $2200 on the esc uncharted drake figures. This month and November I am going to spend another $2925 on esc drake figures as well. I don't collect any other collectors items just uncharted. But I think the most expensive month for me will be this December because esc is releasing some very rare drake figures about 5 of them.
