[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 255363, member: 2"] The good news is that as long as you put in a bit of effort and buy wisely (eg avoid Bryans Toys) you're unlikely to lose much money on anything you buy, you may even make money on some things when the time comes to sell. So I wouldn't worry about, for example, spending your disposable income on the hobby as you can always sell later. Look at it like a savings account! However what you really need to ensure you do is stay in control and don't buy above your means. Don't use credit cards, loans, borrow money, sell other stuff, deprive your kids of food etc to fund the hobby. THAT is when it is out of control. It may sound stupid, but there was a story a while back on RS about a guy that ended up having to sell his house after a divorce because he had spent so much money on toys :oops: [/QUOTE]
