Naw, if you are running up credit card debt or spending the rent money on anime, some additional restraint is in order. However, if this is discretionary income all that spending less means is that you get less good stuff. Just because you have to live on cup noodles doesn't mean you should get less anime. |

@Alan45
I usually don't spend it unless I have it. Its more about breaking self-imposed rules and a shift in perspective about my wants. Plus have you seen the sodium count in those cup noodles? Its a killer. |

Wow, I've needed something like this for a while. I just started keeping track of my spending month to month, and by title. I need to cut down a lot after the next 6 months though, as I recently lost my job and am working with much less discretionary income right now through my new one.
All in all, I've been averaging a pretty staggering $700 per month, or so, since June 2015, which I attribute to catching up with a LOT of older import Blu-rays, but each of the upcoming months through May are still in that ballpark with just pre-orders for figures and Blu-rays, and now that Gundam Origin III is coming in May, my monthly total for that has exceeded $1000. I'd like to get my average back under $500, just for the sake of my comfort with the new job situation. I'll probably cut back to mostly just Limited items for a few months, and maybe cut back on the figures as well. Those figures take up a lot of space! |

Buying anime has become such an occasional thing for me that I forgot close out my 2015 expenses until I went to add Evangelion 3.33 to my spreadsheet just now.
2015 was a much better year, meaning my expenses dropped significantly. I spent $580.53 for the year, compared to $1,679.24 in 2014. My net for 2015 is lower, because I've been selling off a good chunk of my collection. I should track that, too, but I have not been. Maybe I can catch up on that. Legal streaming is a gift to my budget. And anime is no longer a collectible for me. I have so many titles that I've tried to revisit and have no interest in watching again, which is why I've started to sell them. Right now, I'm making it a point to only collect the Monogatari series and whatever Ghibli titles have yet to hit blu-ray. If the Evangelion series blu-ray is picked up this year, or the Escaflowne BDs are released, those would be on my list, too. Here's to spending less in 2016. |
