It's important to operate within your limits sure. Limits being a relative term, there all sorts of different franchises and scales to collect. The best collecting "strategy" is to make enough money to buy whatever makes you happy.
And make enough money to afford a big house. Maybe people who live in one of those places out there like Breaking Bad, where housing is ridiculously cheap, but try doing it in a big city where the cost of living is sky high. Buying 15-20 HT figures a year is the easy part for me, but affording the space, eh, that’s where it gets difficult. Buying a decent house where I live - and I’m not even talking fancy villas or anything here - you literally have to be a millionaire or close.

Tell me about it, as a New Yorker, real estate is one of my greatest enemies. The prices here are absurd.

The thing is you'll never have enough money to get everything, unless you are a multi-billionaire. Thus, for regular people, the best strategy is to collect what you really like and truly want in your collection. This way your family and yourself will be happy and don't have to sell various pieces from the collection after a while, because of low budget or financial problems occurring because you bought too much. A collecting focus is something some collectors here should think about, exactly because of the reasons mentioned above.
 
Yikes! I don't even want to count how many figures I have on order. I buy multiples of some. All I know is it's a lot.
I’m in the same boat.

I’m in ny too. My property taxes are insane. Also, I have a ton on preorder too turd. I’m starting to wonder where I will put them all.
 
(Yeah I'd think chances are low...)

Wonder if we’ll get an updated Ben Kenobi from later on the the OG trilogy or a Qui-Gon from an appearance in the D+ Kenobi show?
