How many of you guys have a monthly budget for buying figures?
Curious if you buy figures based on an amount of figures per month, a dollar amount per month, or just whenever you find something good?

I always try to set a budget of €100 per month ($125) but it always ends with €150-200 spent per month LOL

I have a limited budget of $300 per month as my fun money to spend so at times it is challenging because I have expensive tastes and at the same time I don't want to miss any of the things currently being released.

I only buy one figure per wrestler, so I haven't been getting many Mattels lately. As long as I can still pay my bills, I don't see a problem with keeping up with my collection.

Not really a buget. I just buy when I see them. Of course the last month or so I went crazy because of all the Batman figures out at once. Luckily there's nothing on my radar now other than the last 2 DKR MM and Elite 16.

Speaking of budgets I think it is also important how we budget because what if something special is released suddenly and you spent all of the money you had? I like to keep a stash on hand for special purchases. I am waiting patiently for that 1 of 20 golden gloves Roddy Piper to pop up for sale myself.

I really should but then I would miss out on figures sometimes with how random they hit the shelves.

I typically have very little money to spare but I find a way to pick up a few figs here and there. Sometimes I have to skim a few bucks from my tips, and I get a few gigs here and there. I got a choreography gig that's paying me a grand, I get my second payment next week so I'll probably be picking a few figs up then

I don't have a budget for figures specifically, but I do have a certain amount I withdraw from the bank every two weeks, usually pay day, which is my entertainment money. So that's the money I use when I'm going to buy figures. This month tickets went on sale for a WWE Smackdown taping coming here in September so I had to decide between tickets for that, or some new figures. The month before there were some indy shows around where I live that I was going to attend, but decided to pass on so that I could have some money for figures. We just got the basement on our house finished this summer so entertainment money might be non-existent for the near future until most of the basement is paid off. I do think having a budget for stuff like this is a great idea though, but I'm also probably older than most around here.

$100 from my paycheck goes into "my" money. I use that for anything I want to buy but it's mostly for figs.

I have a portion of my budget dedicated to fun. So it just depends how much I spend on wrestlers. They share that category with other figures, going out, video games, movies, ect.

I dont budget myself. If I see something and I like it, and it isnt insanely priced, then I'll buy. With Mattel having a budget seems like a joke because I never find anything. I go to the store and only find Cenas or Ortons. So if I had a budget it wouldnt be used cause I dont buy peg warmers. Now if Mattel made figures of people I wanted instead of just the same people then maybe Id think of budgeting myself.

Not at all, I get what I want regardless of the price.

Budget? If only Mattel would release/distribute enough to actually impact the ol' finances.

I don't have a budget because it's not needed. I have a small list of figures that I want so when I see them I buy them, whether that be online or in stores.
