[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 5415554, member: 11697"] This. In my situation, my spending on leisure stuff went up considerably when I was pulling my own income and making my own financial decisions versus when I was a kid and had to beg my parents for a month or two for a new nintendo game. I buy what makes me happy and what I can buy with some sense regarding my income and required expenses. Me as a 12 year old wouldn't have bought an arcade game, a life-sized xenomorph costume for halloween, or donated $500 to charity (Doctors Without Borders) for some artwork (by Julie Dillon). I didn't have to beg my parents, I just had to not eat out for dinner for a while in some cases. Admittedly, buying a house kinda put a damper on the wild and crazy days of when I got my first job after graduation, but I still do more now than I did as a kid for leisure. Having said that, I'm almost certain a minority of TTRPG players buy a majority of the books. I might also be tempted to go out on a limb and say that more people buy RPG books and end up just reading them than actually ever use them in the game they were written for. [/QUOTE]
