Considering I dont just buy TF's my budget is pretty much when I see a figure I want and have the spending cash for it.

When I got back into collecting in 2010 I spent alot every month buying everything on the shelves and was probably in the $50-100 per week on TFs. Now I have some trade fodder and am smarter about my purchases so my recent costs have only been shipping out trades (~$25-50 per month).

I budget for sales only.

I used to budget about $25/month, but I've since started a "subsidy jar", where anytime I sell something, the proceeds go into the jar, which in turn subsidizes my TF purchases (1/3 for 1st party items, 2/3 for 3rd party items). It works out really well for me. If I don't sell anything, I can't buy anything. My collection maintains a sense of relative equilibrium

ummm...subsidy jar is a good idea to control budget..

a budget sounds nice....it'd help me afford food more often
