Blackwolf's Moratorium On Buying Stuff.

[Blackwolf]

Well chaps,
It's almost 2015,I shall be 50 in 5 months; retirement in 5 years.And it's time for me to stop buying toys! I have enough stuff to open a very strange and eclectic shop; from classic cars(I have two),to old optics and lets not talk about the figures...To all sorts of odd things.
      So; I therefore declare a moratorium   on the buying of toys,in particular miniatures.There are however one or two exemptions :
Kow Yokoyama kits
Andrew Rae's Statuesque Miniatures
Tre' Manors Red Box Games
And last but not least Hasslefree

It is time to get on with it,and therefore; thanks to the Prof. I shall start a new thread in the Future Wars fora,and stuff will get done.

I thinks that's it

Cheers
Guy

Well said Guy. I can not imagine that you or anybody in this hobby is able to stick to that. I can not count how often I swore to myself not to buy anymore miniatures or models or toys (cars are toys, aren´t they?). It simply does not work.

I'm only 33 and thinking about both
Retirement mostly.

[Captain Blood]

That sounds like a good moratorium Guy 

Look forward to seeing the fruits of your labour

Same here.
I also have a moratorium on miniature buying with the exception of anything that is:
Shiny,
I want it,
Is cheap,
May want it for a future project that will never get started,
Looks like it's cheap on Kickstarter.
And is shiny.

You nailed it...

You chaps

Nah,really got to behave...Though this may be hard.

[Modhail]

Retirement at 55?? How do you manage that?! (Looking at my age and our gubment planning, I'll be lucky of I get to retire at 70...  )

[Blackwolf]

No debts and a clever wife

Um, ok.  Fine by me!

[Vanvlak]

You nailed it...

Seconded.
I have tried this over 2014, and Kickstarters and the odd second hand deal were my downfall. AND I also keep dragging in odds and ends to use for scenery, which doesn't help as they too add to the pile.
But I'm getting better - I haven't bought anything in 2015.

I have those too, still have to work til 70 at least... You're not telling me everything, are you? 
At least I'm getting closer, as of this year my birth is farther away than my retirement.

Good plan in any case, to spend more consciously, though a moraturium is a going a bit far for me. The exceptions you posted are good ones, might as well limit yourself to excellence.
