I think the crunch has hit us all. I used to be able to sock a lot more mula into my collecting. Plus when you are on a home lounge start-up project I think the compulsive buying bug is stronger. I set a precedent for myself to buy just one big$ Tiki item on an annual basis, then the other smaller$ to-die-for items spread throughout the year, and that seems to help. I focus my purchases on TC artists and there is much crying and drama when I can't afford something I really want.
