Actually, this is my "Golden Age" of being a gamer. I currently buy $200-250 of gaming stuff a month, but had scaled way back the last few years of D&D 3.x. I was still picking up WHFRP2 stuff, Dark Heresy, anything Savage Worlds, quite a bit of nWoD, as well as quite a few Reaper minis. Now with D&D 4e, I'm picking up all the books and modules, as well as a DDI subscription.
I'm currently running a D&D 4e game, SW Deadlands, and a Dark Heresy game, and involved in playing in a Spycraft and two D&D 4e games. Now that I'm out of grad and med school, I finally have time for gaming two nights per week. I also recently got a large pay raise (yay tenure!), and have been eyeing that Sultan gaming table!

Saving, investing (though I have been doing very little new investing in the past three to four months), buying some new equipment, expanding my in-home laboratory, bought a new computer system, plowed some money back into my writing business, and am retorting an old architect's drafting table that originally belonged to my grandfather and father. That board is going into my new studio office.
I kept the original drawing board my father gave me, which I also had restored with a cherry red finish, in my home office.
I've also made some improvements to my land and home. Though I did a lot of that work myself.
And I've slightly expanded by home library, though not by many volumes.
My kids have piano lessons, soccer, baseball, classes, and all of their other activities. That eats up a lot of ready cash too.
Indeed.

Quoted for truth. I've bought everything WotC has put out in the last 9 months, some multiple times (minis, dungeon tiles, 2 4e Monster Manuals) and just out of curiosity I picked up the core rules for Exalted 2e as well (haven't found anyone up for a game yet though).

I lowered my spending on game products a couple of years ago. Mostly I just buy core rule books now. Just the bare minimum I need to run a system, nothing more. Have been spending it on food.
The money I'm not spending on 4Ed is being used for buying:
1) ...a 40w Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 1x12 combo amp and a boatload of pedals...next up, a Line6 Verbzilla, Line6 Echo Park, Boss RT-20 and Boss RE-20!
(In all fairness, a big chunk of that is from a Christmas present, but RPG money has been redirected in this direction.)
2) ...precious metals & gemstones to support my jewelry design hobby.
3) ...other game products, like HERO supplements. Well, not that many...I already had most of them that I wanted.
Please stop me, I can't stop myself.
