Ain't that the truth! My upgrades budget has doubled, plus a tad more.

lol - more like tripled, quadrupled, and more! Oy, all I have to say is I'm glad my wife knows very little about half the expenditures. "No honey, that's BEEN there all along, you must not have noticed it!"

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!
