1. Put yourself on a budget. $100 a month, $50 a month, whatever. I save
my budget up for sales.
2. To help in the above, narrow your focus and limit what themes you want.
Trains and Town or Space/Star Wars or maybe Castle and Pirates (that's me).
Or even just one theme. Trying to get it all (and all at once) will leave
you doing nothing but shopping.
3. Sell off the excess. Use the money to supplement your monthly allowance,
or buy the dog a Lego-free doghouse. It's easier to sell off sets still in
the box than break them down and sell the parts.
4. Decide where you are going to keep your Lego habit. Reduce it to one
room at most. This will help you decide how much to sell off.
