Slightly Discouraged!

[Ruth]

No wonder you guys get busted so often. Here is how it works:
-only the stuff you can see counts
-only the stuff you that lives more than 3 months counts
-only the stuff you are currently using counts (none of the pile in the basement of past "junk" and stuff you have upgraded)
-it is only worth current prices and not what you paid for it
-you get to subtract all the money you saved by buying second hand or on sale
-you get to subtract any $ amount for stuff you have actually sold (even if you actually lost $ on it - see #1 above)
-anything bought with Christmas bonus money doesn't count
I could go on but you get the picture. You guys have to get more creative to justify the hobby!
