<p>[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1505249, member: 36248"]Concur with what others have said. Things will get better, you'll get back into the hobby, but maybe not for a few years.

Otherwise you will find yourself hungry, wet, and lonely. Dedicate a small fixed portion of your income to discretionary things, AFTER all your non-discretionary items are paid first. Maybe for a few month or years your discretionary budget is nill, or some tiny amount like $10.00 a month, but eventually if you take your budget into control, your discretionary money will increase. </p><p><br /></p><p>Stay positive, post here, I like your threads (most of them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). I know that just looking at other peoples coin pictures allows me to feed the addiction, without blowing any money. Remember, it's not how much money you MAKE, but how much you KEEP. There are plenty of people who make $100,000+ a year, but if they spend $100,010 a year, they have a miserable life constantly scaping by.
