Zero guilt here. Everyone has things they spend their extra money on. Unlike most people I know at least I have something to show for it.

I use to blow all my money on drugs... And I would feel super guilty about that... So atleast now I have some pretty cool stuff to show for my working so much... Now I don't feel so guilty... I have to admit though, I don't always tell people how much I actually give for these pieces... I usually give them a ballpark number, immediately followed up by how much I think I could get for the piece if I were to sell it lol (which I have no intentions of selling any of my statues)

You have to blow money on something or be boring and save it. I don't do drugs or smoke. I do drink, but not much. Atleast with a statue i have something that looks cool and i can keep (even sell on at a profit, not that i want to). I was thinking the other day, if i didn't own the statues i would be driving a different car. I own an ok car that works, it sits parked up for much of the time. I've slowed down, lack of space being the main reason. I waste less on DVDs and Blu-rays since getting into the statue scene. Also, i've cut down on video games which cost a lot these days. Rather than owning 30+ Playstation 4 games, i own only a few really good ones (Street Fighter, Metal Gear Solid, Alien, Drive Club - with plans on getting Yakuza and Tekken 7).

Other than Kitana 1/3 (which i have on pre-order) there is little on the statue horizon other than Chun-Li 1/3. Maybe SideShow Joker 1/4

Should these ever happen (..and looked ace) I would find room for:
Honey - Junior (Code-name: Fire Ball) 1/4 (Gentle Giant)
Street Fighter - Laura 1/4 or 1/3 (PCS)
Metal Gear Solid - Quiet 1/4 or 1/3 (Prime1)
Audition - Asami Yamazaki 1/4 or 1/3 (PCS or SideShow or anyone )
Suicide Squad / Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) 1/4 or 1/3
Ghost in the Shell / Major (2017 film version) 1/4 or 1/3

Honestly, not even the slightest bit of guilt. We pay all our bills every month and even pay off our credit cards at the end of each month. On top of that we invest roughly 15% of each paycheck we get and have done so for the last 10+ years. We even give roughly $1,500 each year to various animal charities including Torre Argentina Roman Cat Sanctuary and The Exotic Feline Rescue Center.

So any money we spend on ourselves is done responsibly and is well deserved, even if it is on ridiculously expensive items like statues, lol.
