How much do you monthly spend?

[Voldrinhos]

Collecting stickers has become an expensive hobby. How much are you willin' to spend by month on released collections?

I've set myself some limits ;-) Max. 20 euro by month

Got some discussion with the girlfriend lately when it's going to stop

... don't ask to my wife ... thanks

... don't ask to my wife ... thanks

Never say to our wives

Always divide the total by 5 when I tell the mrs. So If I spent 500$ a month I usually say 100$.

As I have no regular earnings, it really depends on the period. I just don't want to put me and my family in jeopardy. Thanks god I only collect Panini Euros and WC. No Fifa365 and no cards (this must be hell for the wallet)

Idem for me , i collect only Panini World Cup ( album , stickers , update , extra stickers ) , that's all .

Alway i try to sell before to buy, but not always can do it...

I never count my spending.

These quotes perfectly describe my approaches to spend on what I can (not what I want, that would be 100x more )

Now it is to hope that the wives/girlfriends won't find this thread

 

[Toshunya86]

Well , maybe someone does like me.... I "associated" my daughter into it buying her one kid's album and it happens that she loves it , so my wife started suddenly to be more tolerant ))

 

[Harsk100]

Well, I usually buy 3-5 sticker packets when I do the Panini Sticker collection. I wish that I could buy more packets, if my parents let me!

 

[Ceesmk]

As for, I spend really too much...But I'm single ;-)

 

[DamianGutierrez]

Don't make me count. More than half of my money

 

[Sergio Z]

Well, it depends. Panini usually releases most of their collections during march-october. In that case, I usually spend 50 - 80 dollars monthly.
The rest of the year I spend less, like 20 or 30 dollars monthly.

Since I don't earn a big sallary yet (I'm in my last year of studies at University), I try to set a budget monthly. Besides buying albums and stickers, I save money for travelling, music gear and stuff like lens, recorders and other accesories for my job (I work as a freelance music/video producer). I spend money with my girlfriend, too.
