I could see myself doing so once I achieve a certain level of financial stability. I have to catch up on releases now that I'm employed and whatnot. If you live an otherwise minimalistic lifestyle and have all of your bills covered beforehand, why not? _________________ http://sethbennettillustration.blogspot.com/ - Artwork and graphic design

Nowadays when I walk around a record store on payday I'll pick up five or six lps that I'm set on buying. But I usually just end up getting one or two because I know I need to save the money. _________________

| Sometimes I'm stunned how people these days afford all of these records and such. Perhaps the extreme metal community has secret trust funds lol. |

Don't forget that social lives can be expensive, I really don't mind spending more money on transport, drinks, show tickets and food (in other words, spending money to hang around with other people) than I do on records. Some people would rather spend their money on records and don't really go out (nothing wrong with that for the record, do what you want with your life & money). Having a high paying job with low living costs helps too of course. _________________ Ignivomous merch: abaddon_963[at]hotmail.com

My weekly pay is $1,000 - there's just not enough stuff I want to spend that much on in one hit. Then with rent and groceries to buy I can't be doing this anyway.
I usually spend around $300 every month or two these days _________________ Good traders: Professor Black, Golden Bull, Albin, TheUnborn, knochen, Valgrinder, Sv., dangerass, dalecooper, s.charlach, into the pit

I'm in this camp. I get a modest budget to spend on music etc, don't really go out and drive to shows so don't really spend money on anything else bar food, used to spend a lot on drinks at home, not any more. _________________

| I daresaay that I could easily blow a whole fortnight's wage if I went to a festival that had a lot of good bands playing but otherwise there is never enough stuff out that interests me to warrant more than about £30 a month. |

| I get paid fortnightly and tend to buy at least something each pay, I try and keep it sensible however there are certainly times when I blow the budget, and it happens more frequently than I'd like to admit. |

| Student, working 18 hours per weeks. Absolutely no problem in spending an entire paycheck on music. Altough i usually keep money for movies, drink and girlfiriend. But it's a small budget compared with the money i put in music. |
