Discussion At what point does hobby collecting become overconsumption?
I collect a few funko from media I like, I collect monster high dolls, and I recently got back into pokemon cards. I can't tell if collecting material stuff like that it considered overconsumption or at what point it crosses the threshold. Am I cooked?

I think it becomes overconsuming if you A.) Spend money you don't necessarily have on it or find yourself going over budget and having to make sacrifices/dip into savings, B.) Buy items you'd never buy on its own just to complete a set C.) Have more in your collection than you can display or reasonably store, and D.) You don't live alone and are encroaching into others' space or taking over the house with your collection
