Ok, so Iam bored today. You can crank out reports for only sooo long.

I read these threads about some of you with 500+ kits and got to thinking how we all do it (when I say "we", I definitly dont have 500+ kits).

I dont have a dedicated budget for modeling. Its more like I impulse buy when I see something that strikes my fancy, usually even if I dont have the money. I then attempt to justify the cost, a fancy term for covering my tracks.... Do any of you actually have a budget, say $50.00 per month or whatever per month? I do know this, if I could swap places with my wife and spend the same amount as she does on her hair every month, I would be in kit heaven. However, two chances of that, slim and none.

Of course this side steps the issue of weather or not I'll ever actually get around to building the things. But its nice to have the choices on hand in the stash.
