Almost 20 years working for UPS, so that helps a bit. I don't drink, smokes, (I do eat out a lot.) I look for the best deal possible. I always blind buy, I think I'm happy with about 90% of them.

Thankfully Blu-Rays are my only hobby that costs money. I don't smoke, rarely drink, go out to eat once or twice a week. I already have many of my "most wanted" titles, so in theory, I won't be buying many more Blu-Rays from now on. In theory

No kids, no alcohol, some drugs, and wife on the same page as me. Somehow it works out.

Blu-rays are really the only "unnecessary" thing I spend my money on and collecting them has been a fun hobby that I really enjoy. Unless I start spending so much that I can't pay my bills or something like that, I don't think it will turn out to be a problem in the long run.
Wow, you basically took the words out of my mouth. Nailed what I was gonna post.

My fiancée and I both have good paying jobs, we have no kids (personally I don't want any). We don't rely on credit, everything we purchase is with our own money. If there ever is a time where we don't have the money for something we either save up or go without. Also I am in control of our finances, and am extremely good at budgeting. We still do enjoy plenty of other things as well, like going to restaurants, buying alcohol, going on holidays etc.

You don't want a little Cevolution running around, to carry on your name to another generation?

I do some rather unsavory things to finance my addiction of the celluloid type.

Set funds aside from my paycheck and if it's something I can wait for, will wait for the price to go down.

I work, plain and simple. What doesn't go to bills fuels my film/alcohol addiction and occasionally I take my fiancée out for a good night.

I ***** myself to the worst company ever, in exchange for currency and crippling knee and back pain. It's quite the trade off.

I Work. Still haven't found the BD tree, BD genie, or BD Leprechaun.

I use credit card reward points and exchange them for AMZ gift cards. Just remember this only helps you out if you actually pay your balance off each month.

The paycheck from my remedial job and during the school year, I splurge when I get excess student loan money. I've only got $3,200 remaining on my auto loan, and once I have my car paid off I'm pretty sure I won't be saving that $275 I was throwing down on my monthly payment. It's not smart, but hey...

How do you guys fund your blu-ray movie purchases? Do you budget? Cut back on partying/alcoholism? Live in a box? Eat ramen every night? Or just straight up ballin Walter White style? Just wondering

I myself do a little bit of all of the above mentioned. Also selling off my DVDs to offset costs of blu-rays.

Thanks for your time!
