    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.

      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.
