I believe anyone with some disposable income can afford pinball. It’s all priority though. You can have a few EM games in your home and buy them over time. At $700-$1500 each you might choose to skip the family trip, or the weekly trip to the bar. There is no income requirement.

Quoted from pinlawyer:Pins hold their value pretty well in general, so for every bath you'll take, you'll likely make a profit somewhere else.My wife doesn't care, because the market for pins is brisk and collections of desirable games are easy to liquidate, if that ever has to be done. Think of a pin collection as a savings account you can play and enjoy.
This is true, their value certainly holds well. Unlike a trip to Disney for example. A pinball machine retains value, so even if you spent $5000 and sold it 5 years later for $4200 it still about the cheapest hobby $net.
