I just realized since 2011, I've spent more than $55k on games, anime, figures, and manga

I have no issue with collecting or spending large amounts on collecting. Crack on, whatever you love if you can afford it.
But I am gonna judge people for what they're collecting; in this case for me personally.....fucking Anime, ugh. A room filled with films and comics and figures and dolls heavily featuring scantily clad young girls with massive tits. Yeah, that's not for me. Can't see the appeal in any way and I can't imagine showing it to people.

help? well you can start by getting rid of all of those creepy naked anime dolls, the small ones and large ones
do you donate to charity? if not, maybe sell them and donate the money

Is that all? Can't help but feel disappointed by the lack of Switch stuff. Pretty weak OP.
Saw your collection many times over the years and always found it to be pretty cool. While I couldn't care less about the anime/manga/figurines, it is extremely well organized. You see other rooms with less stuff that look like shit because people don't clean it, even if they are "all digital".

wow impressive don't be ashamed for your hobby awesome very jealous.
If it did not effect your finances in any other way its fine.
I think I barely made 55K since 2011.

You won't be able to leave the room if all the doors are encumbered.
looks like a sliding door
I used to work towards a collection like this. Not nearly as successfully, but then I became a degenerate that likes to drink with his homies 2 nights out of the week and would rather spend the $55k in vegas going to clubs, drinking and gambling.
As long as your living your best life. We're happy for you. I'm much happier now than I've ever been, but everyone's different, just be sure to give all types of experiences a shot.

OP is actually testing waters, behind the door theres entire house just for his collection
Collecting is completely foreign to me. Do you get like a high when you show off a lot of material stuff? Or is it just about buying it all? Or maybe both?
It seems very stressful no matter the case.

or mind your damn business.
That DS collection is insane. I wish the pics were zoomable. Would love to look through your video game collection.
As for the spending, you should buy/do what makes you happy. Too many people will say it's a waste and they probably spend money on other shit.
Really nice collection OP! I don't think you're crazy at all, you should spend money on what makes you happy (as long as you can afford it of course...).
In 8 years is not bad at all.
How do you keep that clean?
Just get rid of the carpet in the floor, such bad taste.. :)

I see nothing wrong with collecting if it makes you happy. (I certainly love collecting old video games)
But I gotta say those sexualized anime figures are kinda not okay

Spend your money however you see fit - but I wished I'd saved my money when I was younger rather than spend tons of CDs etc. When I cleared most of them out a few years back all I saw was the thousands of pounds I'd wasted on things I no longer cared about. Could've put it to much better use.
You're nuts. Not that it is a bad thing, though.
Hope your home inventory is insured in case of fire, lighting strike, hurricanes, burglary, flooding etc.!

Honestly OP, I don't give a shit about manga or video games (consoles games anyways) but I respect that you got to the stage in your life where you could spend $6111.11 (repeating) a year on what you love and not have it adversely affect other parts of your life.
This is great man! I actually think that it's cool that you seem happy with your collection but are also aware of the cumulative cost. I think if many of us were to reflect on what we have spent on things with depreciating value that we collect or enjoy (such as gaming) we would ALL be shocked and probably stop with our hobbies.- That's not the point here though—the point is that this fulfills you and it's damn near 10 years of collecting. You didn't just blow your life savings over night.
I saw a video about an abandoned mansion in Japan that was packed full of stuff. I imagine one day they will find a house like that with mountains of anime and manga.
Haven't read the whole thread but does the TC have a family? I can't knock the hustle and if the bank is there then power to you. Otherwise that's an exorbitant amount of cash money productions happening there.
Love your Retsuko collection!
I think it's fine if you enjoy collecting and can afford it, OP. My main concern in your situation wouldn't be the cost but how to manage space for everything into the future, how long can you keep accumulating so much each year before you run out or it starts cluttering up other rooms?
