I am an insurance agent and earlier this year I opened my own little one man agency. Not a lot of money at this point, but I'm an old hand at sales and expect to build it up in relatively short order. I spend from $10.00 to $100.00 per month on the hobby. In the past couple of years I have tried to become more focused in my purchasing, buying only those things which directly contribute to the era I am currently modeling. That way I don't come home from a show or the hobby shop with both a 40 foot PS-1 boxcar and a string of well cars for double stacks. Instead I bite my tongue, kick myself and otherwise force myself to buy only that which relates to current modeling efforts. Strangely enough, I find the discipline it takes to manage yourself in a self employed situation is easier than applying the same discipline to the hobby. <br /> <br />Cheers! <br /> <br />Ed
