much needed list to avoid spending too much on paper men! i loove my collection and i love when my things arrive and i can look at them in wonder but i live alone and i fend for myself. i have a tendency of self-neglect so no starving over collection!

it usually takes 2 months for my pcs to arrive. mostly because i buy it with proxy/warehouse service provided by goms. so i think it's best if i buy things at once rather than over months. for example!

> $100 in october, next $100 in december

rather than

> $100 in october, $25 in november, $40 in december

it costs me a lot more and the pcs arrive at different times. i'd rather receive everything at once or within a shorter spam of time.

mid-june/early-july i acquired 9 pocas. which is an impressive amount considering i already am very controlled on what i'm spending money on my collection, no matter how much i want a pc when i see them available. i also muted the wts/wtt group chats i'm in. out of sight out of mind!

it also means that my next purchase will be on august/september. which is totally fine by me since it's near my birthday and i'll have an excuse to spend extra money on it hehehehehhe (what did we talk about being responsible again...) just extra cautious with immoderation and will fight the demons inside my body to not buy anything in the meantime (unless it's too cheap. i'm poor anyways)

by then my ate wishlist will be sorted, since i refuse to buy any merch without a proper preview. black squares with a question mark are not a preview, jyp, sorry to break it for you. i honestly don't care if pobs are pricier after comeback. and it's not like a collect a particular member... if i like a pc, i'll buy it. i don't care which member it is. my collection is more ot8 based than anything.
