Are you calling me poor?! I suppose I should elaborate, I don't spend a lot on one item when I can spend the same and get 3 or 4 other items (albeit usually smaller). Though I find any value near $200 is a tad ludicrous unless it's the definitive end-all be-all representation of one of my all time favorites.

I suppose a microwave wasn't the greatest example. A better point, which unfortunately happened to me about a couple of months ago, was when my air conditioning broke and I had to pay for two mobile units to keep my ferrets from dying of heat and then pay for the repairs to the main unit, that blew out all toy money for that month and most leisure cash.
I don't know what you spent on the 2 Hot Toys, but if I may just throw numbers, let's pretend it was about $400 for both (~$200 each), I would personally spend it more like some Transformers here, some NECA stuff there, and probably some Marvel to round it out. I greatly admire Hot Toys for their detail and what not, but I prefer buying more smaller figures than one larger figure, hence the most I've spent on any one single item is around $60.
