Ever sit down and think about how much you've spent on toys?

Each month my bills are paid and there's food on my kids plates. I do spend quite a bit on figures but I always prioritize. I also work 40-60 hours a week so the way I see it, it's well deserved. My figure collection is therapeutic.

That's the way I look at it. I'm too damn fat, so I must be buying groceries and getting my bills paid first. lol

I do have a friend though who has no idea of prioritizing.

I remember seeing him at TRU a while back buying a crap load of figures. He had, at least, $250 to $300 worth in his cart. I remember thinking that I couldn't understand how he was buying so many at once, seeing as I know what kind of job he had (working clean up crew at Walmart), and when I said something about the sheer amount of stuff he was buying at once, he looked at me and said...

"I'll just let my truck payment go for another month."

I couldn't believe he was buying toys instead of paying his bills. Am I in the minority here thinking there is something seriously wrong with that?!

I saw him just the other day selling some of his Hot Toys figures to a local business who sells video games, figures, etc, for less than half of what he gave for them... because he had some bills to pay. He always does this, then turns around and buys more and more, simply to stuff them in a storage unit, or sell for a loss whenever a bill comes due.
