I wrote an entire thing on how I live alone and collect MU and save money so I can afford luxeries even though I live in an apartment with my dog. wrote it on Hisstank.

I dont plan on ever getting a house. too much. If I win the lotto, sure I'll get one. when my parents pass away I know i'll inherit my childhood home, which Is cool. I like the place.

I think its the massive hunt that gets people burnt out. the obsessing over the figures. Its not that hard to collect MU if you know where to spend and what to spend.

I buy sets from BBTS, thats roughly 60 bucks after shipping. so 60 times 6 and its 360. not that bad. 360 dollars out of 30,000 a year? add another hundred for comic packs, 50 for gigantic battles, hundred for masterpiece. thats 610. dosent include other Marvel lines, I wont count them.
then I trade or sell the ones I dont want from the sets. so I'm pretty sure I've only spent nearly 2000 on it in the 3 years I've collected it.

I also buy old toy playsets, fix them up and complete them, and then sell them for a profit. I'm currently fixing up a Eternia playset I was able to purchase from an old friend. I'm expecting profit.

no disrespect, but I dont see how you could spend 5 grand on these, Andy. I really dont

btw, if anybody is wondering, I hardly have any debt. I'm just good at managing my money
