Probably about $100/month but it bounces a lot (I tend to only buy stuff at conventions or during sales). Most of that is raised by selling other hobby stuff (I'm whittling down a random collection to a core I'm likely to actually use).

As I'm starting out 40k, this year, I do not really have an average. I don't think I'll spend much once my army is finished, and short of a few tanks, it is.
Last year? Around £1-12 a month. Paint, brushes, an odd single mini. Once I get everything sorted, I imagine it'll be back to that.

Hmmm...

I'd estimate ~$100.00 a month on average. However when the AdMech was released, I'd say it was more like $100.00 a week. It's been ~$50.00 recently with the AoS stuff happening. It's nice though, to have the brief respite, I've been able to catch up on some stuff.

IMO the rolling thunder release schedule is terrible - a terrible idea that has been poorly implemented. It's OK to speed things up a little, but damn... stop steamrolling us with releases.

More than I like to dwell on.... In these last months probably £50 to £60

I try to limit it to $50 a month for models and don't count stuff like paints or brushes, I just get those here and there as I need them. But, i don't buy stuff as often as I used to, now I tend to save save up for 2 or 3 months and spend $100 or $150 instead.

It was zero a month for a year and a half, but I broke down and bought a couple of things so I guess that averages to $10/month.

Maybe $100-200 from benefits and then whatever I can get from my family.

50$ a month on average, with months i buy nothing and then i buy suddenly someone's kickstarter's pledge or someone's miniature boardgame.

i'll go 3 or 4 months at a time spending next to nothing beyond maybe replacing some paints that are low, and then have a month where i'll drop $100 to $150 to pick up new releases.
i've also cut back a lot on kickstarter, probably averaging maybe one or two projects a year now, if that

I guess between 0-50 dollars, depending on the month, and whether I have medical bills to pay.

I've found that I just can't get myself to get into the triple digits. Spending 100 might be right next to 99, but the first looks so much more intimidating when I'm making my budget.

200-300 lately. It seems every time I look at a new website or get bored and start trolling ebay I find a bunch of stuff I need to have.

As for as hobbies go I've done cars, guns, stereo, and now minis. Minis are still the cheapest out of those but it feels like there's a constant flow of dollars from my wallet, always need that one more tool, paint, brush, terrain piece, w/e...

a hellava lot more than I dare confess to the missus

Which reminds me that I haven't updated the DCM thread on this subject since July... £109.76 avg up until this point in the year apparently.

I would say on average I spend about $100-$150 a month. The past couple months have been bad on my wallet because of Gen Con and Warmachine. It will drop to probably $50 a month soon though as I'm am almost finished with all my armies.

Not a whole lot tbh.

If I had to average it out, maybe $10 - $15 on supplies like glues, cheap brush packs for drybrushing, etc.

Models? I haven't bought a kit since the Mechanicus Skitarii were released. I only spend a few hundred bucks a year maximum on new kits.

You know, you don't have buy it as soon as it comes out. It's not gonna disappear if you hold the money for a while.

Although I don't always buy things, I guess I spend about 2-300 SEK (24-35USD) a month on average.

Not sure. I should better keep track of my spendings.
Maybe a spreadsheet would help.

I would suggest paying for the wonderful program You Need A Budget. I've been using it for close to two years and it's pretty amazing.

Pfft, who needs a budget. I just make sure less money leaves my wallet than goes in to my bank account in the same period of time

As for how much I spend. Really hard to say because I don't buy consistently from one month to the next. At a guess I'd say around $50, but I know the past 2 months I've bought closer to $300 worth of stuff, though most of it not on stuff I'll be using for wargaming so I don't know if it counts
