[QUOTE="schneeland, post: 9205146, member: 6900337"] I don't track on the level of detail you have, i.e. I only have the categories Games (which include also video and board games), Crowdfunding (which is mostly RPGs, but also a few non-RPG books and music projects) and Books (which is , RPG books count as Games). Checking my tracking file, it seems that my expenses are pretty steady over the last three years when summing up these three categories (which make up most of my hobby expenses). They are higher than your total expenses; however, they are 50% lower than they were in 2020 (probably mostly due to the fact that I significantly cut down on physical books I buy). All in all, expenses could be a bit lower, but I'm not making any specific plans here except for checking again at the end of 2024. On the upside, I managed to read 12 RPG books in 2023 (I'm half-way through number 13, but I might not complete it), which is back up from 9 I had last year (2021 was also 12). The tentative plan is to keep this pace and slowly, but steadily work through my (digital) pile of unread stuff. I also spent a bit of money on VTT software this year, so the plan for 2024 is to find some time to actually set it up and - probably the trickier part - also try to run a few games again (I felt burnt out on GMing in late 2021 and was lucky enough to find new groups where I could be just a player).
