What percentage of your income (wages, investments, etc.) do you guys spend on computer related purchases? If you feel comfortable, you can also post how much you make hourly or salary. I think it would be interesting to find out how many of us have a addiction or how many of us think of building/repairing computers as a hobby :P .

90% of my income is disposable (free to be spent on anything).

75% of my income is used on tech stuff currently. 

10% of my income will be used on tech stuff (games) in the near future while the rest is saved for the future.

one does not simply spend all the money on tech. I like to shop and fill up the basket with everything i need want so i can see how much it will cost. the more products I can get in one shipping order the better. makes it feel like Christmas day.

As the poor student I am, I'd say about 10-20% ish. If I didn't manage my economy with caution, I'd probably have a Titan running right now. (Followed by debt collectors taking it away a week later ;_; )

 

I feel the same way! Doesn't help when you make a little above minimum wage. :/
