Fowty Dollaz Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 In all seriousness, I get the addiction part haha. I think you need to make yourself busier! Haha. Once you literally don't have time to shop and search and buy shit constantly, it'll taper off a bit. Haha. Or drugs. Replace them with drugs.

unknown pleasures Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 6 hours ago, GameX said: Hello =) I bought my first cat in 2006 but started collecting felines more seriously around 2012. My first kitten was acquired in 2013 and since then, I made an Excel spreadsheet of my collection/wantlist/spaying (Can share if interested). 325 Siamese, 34 Persian and 4 Ragdolls. I've found out that the reasons I collect are various - Maybe boredom, lurking on collecting sites (Everyday that is), or also that I find every kitty missing from my wantlist spreadsheet some sort of long-term goal to acheive at some point. It's a passionnate but quite addictive hobby haha, so expensive (That's why I am more on the stray side, yet. Purebreds are a lot more costly, 200-500$, while I can find strays for as low at 0.00$ CAD in an alley). I recently considered buying a litter box (Maybe Purina 10 gallon. I got a 2016 scratching post for dirt cheap, 0.25$, kitten bed for 0.50$ (Both Petsmart and 2 scoops included recently, so figured it might be a *decent* start). At least I won't have to spend ~600$ for cat bed, milk dishes and flea treatment to simply get purrs haha. I often find myself struggling to save up (I can if I want haha, trying now, need that Maine Coon), and figured the easier way was to stay away from furry sites ever haha. I guess most of this community share a similar bond (Or issue) like I do haha. And still, 300 Siamese or 33 Persian isn't even THAT much, considering some have 1,000+ (MEOW!) haha. Any feedback?

faaip de oiad Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Can't say it's an addiction. But once I started committing robberies and burglary, I got off the glass. Oh wait, vinyl? Yeah vinyl sucks, stop buying shit you don't need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made about 1K selling my CD collection (~500) a few years ago Sold them all by band, then by genre once I hit the bottom of the bucket and had random 1s and 2s No...I'm keeping them. If my hard drive crashes (again)...they're all lost. Die Laughing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own, but you can get a second drive constantly creating a mirrored backup (RAID configuration) for 150$ and the rest of your cd sales is gravy.

Adoty4213 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I purge my CD collection every so often and donate the ones I don't want to my local library. There's no reason to keep CDs I won't listen to again (this has mostly been cancelled out by having Spotify.) For records, I never want more than 200-250 (about 4 squares on a typical record shelf.) I no longer buy records just to buy them. I only get albums I love or when there's no other physical medium (sometimes from bands on bandcamp.)

MCDELTAT Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 To be the only serious answer here: it's called a budget. I have a pretty strict budget of $110 per months. I stick to that intently. If I know a million bands are announcing a pre-order soon that I want, then I won't hit my max in another months. Simple as that. Or you could just make more money.
