I haven't had a job for over a year and won't for another year. This was planned. I set aside a bunch of cash solely for mp releases. So far been able to get everything and should be able to keep up with every release till I get a job
I stick to G1 about 90% of the time. I include MP's in there as well since they are G1. The other 9% is Gen/Uni/whateverthehellitscalledthisweek. 1% is minor dabbling in third party...........found awesome deal on Quakewave and picked him up and some add ons here or there. U have to have limitations if the money is budgeted. So pick a goal and run with it. If I know I am having big purchases I hit a few shows if I can work permitting and sell some stuff I pick up to sell off down the road.
