once you figure in the LEGO factor-- as a kid of an AFOL (or simply FOL) he
hardly needs to spend any money on LEGO, yet his collection is huge for a kid
his age because he and his little brother usually get a copy of any set I find
on clearance as well as others I'm simply curious about.  Not to mention all
the parts they have managed to siphon from MY collection.

WOW!!!! $3 a week, plus "unlimited" lego.... :)

I wish I got that when I was a kid.  I got money from relatives, and managed
the odd job here and there, plus LEGO wasn't that bad back then.  You could
buy a real nice lego set for even $10.

So I guess there is a trade-off.
