Has anyone else gone holy shite when realised how much they have spent?

As a side note, this forum is ridiculously dangerous as this place encourages you to spend and exposing yourself to other items that you didn't know existed, so may purchase those as well lol.

yes it has made me worry many times - and an even bigger yes to this forum being dangerous

[vhal_x]

Yeah, the forum does completely encourage extra spending!

I spend within my means, but I budget it all out so I can get as much as possible but there have been a few "SHIT!" moments when you realise you've left something out of the budget haha

No major casualties here though (so far) other than being unexpectedly charged for something and then having to borrow from my mum xx

My only issue at the moment is that I want to grow my Final Fantasy collection (still early days) but I live in a 1 bedroom flat so I don't have much space as it is. :/

Need to buy like a 3 bedroom house before I can go nuts lol. Still looking...

Expensive month for you then.

I got my sealed Fifa Street Steelbook from Evil as well a copy of Space Marines 40,000 to put in my Steelbook( well steel tin) .

So I spending in my means.

Sure, I've astounded myself at the amount I've spent...I'm sure I've spent probably $30,000+ on video games since I've been collecting (nearly 10 years, and that doesn't count resales I've made throughout that time frame...it's probably more like $5000 counting the resales). And yeah, you might say I've a very expensive collection, if for no other reason than the number of exotic/rare/unusual games I own, or the handful of betas/prototypes that I have (heck...do I have $50,000 worth of games and related items nowadays? Maybe $60,000-$70,000+? The way the video game market has been going in the past year or so, I've been getting rich on paper just sitting behind the computer o_O). But the money is irrelevant, in terms of what I've spent for my collection or what my collection is worth. I've said it all along...I collect for fun. I don't anticipate being able to sell a brand-new PS3 game for $500 5 years from now...I buy what I like for my collection, and I hang onto it...and I buy any deals on stuff I don't like, and promptly resell it, trying to pass the deal onward .
