What is this phrase, "too much LEGO"? I read the words but don't understand them

I've been on a buying spree for the last six months and have approximately
75,000 pieces. Before that, it was about 50,000.

I keep it all, I don't resell. No idea on any value - and there are several
metrics on that. What I paid, what it's worth retail, what it's worth as used,
parted-out pieces... maybe later I'll want to attach a dollar value, but for now
that's not what I'm acquiring it for.

My two boys, both LEGO maniacs, have a joint collection of about 1,800 pieces,
which we add to regularly. Birthdays and holidays are big additions, but they
also like other stuff so we don't overload them with LEGO. Between both kids,
I'd say we spend about $150-$200/year on LEGO total for them.
Significantly more for Dad.
