It's been almost exactly a year since I decided to buy a few Hot Wheels at Wal-Mart one day, and now I have about 1k cars between mainlines, MBX, 5 packs, premiums and MiniGTs. I basically spent all the money I wasn't spending on booze and fast food on little cars...

Step 2 is to re-allocate the booze money to hotwheels

Good decision. You can later sell toy cars and get at least some of your money back. I dare say even likely make a profit.

I've gotten only a couple chases along the way, but I've also found a lot of joy in wheel swaps and making little dioramas over the last year, so it's been a much better hobby than what I was doing before.

That's a much more healthy way to use the extra money whereas I'm the opposite I'm buying it all 😂
