I've noticed some of you buy several copies of expensive sets (I think
someone here had 8 Neptune Discovery labs), and I have to ask:

How can you afford it? I'll have to save for months if I want to buy a
UCS SW set, but it seems that some people just goes out and buys two of
them "for the parts". Don't get me wrong, it's *nothing* wrong with
doing that, but I'm wondering how you can afford that. I'd like to do
that too, if I had enough economical resources.

Well, personally, my LEGO budget is about $50 per month, so I have to measure what I want to buy as well. However, this may seem like a lot if you're still living at home and have no job. My buying ability is based on a few factors: 1) I am 26 and (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) We have an interesting way of supporting my hobby. By personal choice I work and my wife doesn't (we have no kids yet). She spends a lot of time on-line at home during the day. Because of this, she's signed up for some of the free programs (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
