Yea this hobby totally left me high and dry 
single month for the past 8 months I have been 
spending my extra disposable income  on cels, 
averaging $400-600/mo.  My savings acount is 
shot, all of my other hobbies have been put on 
hold.  I haven't bought an anime or regular DVD 
or video game in the past 6 months.  I bid on my 
own cels and use a deputy service for others and 
when the bill comes in I am so overwhelmed I have 
to borrow from my family.  This one time I 
charged 1500 bucks on my CC for a huge deputy 
service package.  

Well last month I bought a new car, I could only 
afford to put the tax down on the car, with a car 
payment now my extra income is really tight.  I 
vowed to myself - NO MORE FREAKING CELS (Unless 
its a dream/wish cel) or I get a second job or 
stop eating or something. 

After all this... I find myself spending $300.00 
at Taro's sale last month, and Otakon is in 2 
weeks...When will it ever end??
