Spending
 
I was going over my RC expenditures for the year. OH MY GOD !!
I'm supposed to be cutting back a bit in these tough times. So much for that!
Are you guys as bad? Are you still spending a load these days? Just curious.

Great question, I'm feeling the itch really bad but must say I've done well the last few months keeping it down, I say that but I just bought something a few minutes ago :)

This year has been pretty good but others have been ugly - try not to do the math except when i'm selling...

The past two years i have been a Pay Pal advantage member... for spending over $5,000 in a year. Mind you that I do use Pay Pal for other purchases as well, but I also make a lot of local (gotta support your local shop), and credit card purchases too. I just don't want to do the math, less scary that way. I wonder if I can write this off as medical expenses... my doctor told me to get a hobby!

I have:
448 positive feedbacks on eBay in the last 12 months.
248 in the past 6 months
44 in the last month.

I'd say that's 70/30 selling/buying. After a selling weekend my Paypal account doesn't stay full for very long.

I haven't spent a dime on my Rc's in almost a yr. Times are tough indeed. Before that I reached my PP spending limit before having to be certified or whatever they are calling it in less than 2 yrs.

Come to think of it, have only run them only once or twice in that same period of time

Haven't done much rc this year, but that makes up for other years. I keep a small checking acct with automatic monthly transfers and only try to spend whats there. Way too easy to buy a little thing here and there which really adds up.
