Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lazybones" data-source="post: 2433712" data-attributes="member: 143">As a DINK couple, my wife and I do very well. We both just got promoted (wife=new job) so our annual income has jumped approximately 50% in 6 months. ... how much free time do you have (is it enough, just right, too much)?Plenty. To save $ during our budget crisis (sort of a meaningless term, it's always in crisis) the State of CA offered a voluntary leave program where you could take an extra day off a month in exchange for a salary cut. I was the first person in a Department of 1400 employees to submit the form after the email was sent out. Between that and my latest seniority bump, I get 5.5 weeks of vacation a year. I take a LOT of 3 day weekends. ... how much do you spend on RPGs?If you count CRPGs, maybe $200/year. I'm not buying much paper stuff these days, just the occasional module/supplement that catches my eye. ... are RPG products overpriced?Probably, but I have no difficulty affording what I want to buy. I do find myself seeing many products and thinking, "Man, that's expensive." I often have to stop myself from saying in public situations, "When I was a boy, 'X' was only $y dollars!"... how valuable is your RPG time as compared to your other off time?Very, although mine is electronic (2 2-hour campaign sessions of Neverwinter Nights/week, at a scheduled time with long-term groups of players). My wife is very agreeable and doesn't schedule other events during those two slots.</blockquote>
