I am married. My wife is concerned because I enjoy and own an unreasonable quantity of video games and books; and we have a toddler with a growing interest in both as well.
My wife says that our next house won’t have a library, it will just be built from books.
On the plus side, one of my favorite authors - Terry Pratchett - once said “I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who has enough room for all of their books.” I would have liked to be friends with him.

That’s beautiful. Also the quote makes me feel a lot better about all the books strewn about the house. Makes it seem more normal, or acceptable. Kind of flips it around to a good thing.
What if I massively overbuy both games and books without consistently consuming either?
Well, if you have the disposable income and you’re not married, it’s no different than me and my wife’s finances haha
Hah! I like that comparison, very apt.
