    Hobbies can get popular and prices climb.

    In the early 1970's I was picking up German tin toys. By the early 1980's instead of a collection, most people could only afford a few.

    Find games you can afford and like. Newest and shiniest isn't always what YOU like.

    And if what you have to have and can't live without, but price is a problem. Get creative. Figure a way or work your way to getting it.

    No it's not affordable any more. Why invest a single dime in your entertainment and happiness.

    Time to give it all away. And go live in a forest and become a monk.
