My Friends, well, as sad as it may seem, the closest things to friends are the people I interact with on here, so yes, they support me.
My Family? Well, my family lives on the other coast, so, I guess not, but then again, Mom and Dad bought about 75% of my 1982-1990 Joes, to include looking for them when I was in Germany. So yeah, they DID support me!
My Wife? Well, shes like to complain every payday and ask; "How much do you owe on auctions?" and then gives me the;

But a few days later I'll ask her ; "Can I get some guns/figures/vehicles from Marauder/ Smalljoes/GIJOEHQ ?" and she reluctantly says yes. And she let me spend over $550.00 on a 14' long model bailey bridge! So, yeah, she supports me! And she loves telling her friends that her husband has 1,800 GIJoe figures and a Garage full of vehicles and playsets to includee 3 model bridges!!
