How I'm Able to AFFORD Collecting | Video Game, Figure & Hobby Budgeting with My REAL Numbers

I get asked this question a lot, so now I have the perfect thing to link whenever I'm asked this question again lol.

But really, I hope at least some of you find this helpful! As you can maybe tell I'm a bit of a personal finance nerd & love talking about this stuff. I sort of glossed over a few details so please let me know if you have any additional questions or would like me to follow up with something related to personal finance involving hobbies.

You can obtain a copy of the budget template I shared in the video here:

I also realized that I edited over the part where I mentioned what I do with my YouTube income from Google, Amazon affiliate links, and ko-fi. Right now it's all going into my YouTube fund that I plan to draw from in the near future. the plan is to use it for equipment upgrades, such as a professional camera/mix setup and maybe a PC & streaming equipment. I haven't made much from Amazon affiliate links so far but right now I've been storing them as gift cards for purchasing games that I plan to feature on the channel & potentially other equipment type things.
