I'm in the same boat with Outrider. I spend on what I want. If I can't afford it, I don't buy it, but then again, Since unlike some collectors here, I don't also collect Star Wars, Transformers, etc., That leaves me with a lot of cash to devote to Joes. I spend between $100 a month and $600 a month on Joes (usually the $600 is when they have Con sets or I catch a deal on something I have been searching a long time for. (Like that Bailey Bridge! Best $600 I ever Spent!) Also, like Outrider, since I'm not a fan of the 25th and don't buy Many of them, I have more money to spend on expensive and rare items these days. Used to be I would spend $300 and get about 40 action figures, 5-6 Vehicles and a Playset or two. Now, I'm looking at spending $400 and getting the 2007 Con Grand Slam and Starduster. LOL!

Now, when we talk about spending on Joes, are we also talking about spending on Dio Supplies? Probably 1/3 to 1/2 of what I spend a month is on dio Supplies (Lights, hobby wood, Aquarium pieces, doll furniture, other playsets such as MASH, Police Academy, Lil Brats, etc). I put a LOT into my hobby, but then again, I don't play Xbox, Playstation, Wii, I don't collect other toy lines, I gave up Martial Arts (too old and it hurts too much now!) and I'm not into Motorbikes or Cars (Except My Dodge Magnum, Lola. but I'm not into buying million dollar stereo systems, Rims, lights etc.) So, basically, after food, gas and bills the rest I can use for Joes.....
