After a long absence from serious photography, I've spent, since October last year $15000. This includes D30 outfit and Kodak 8660 printer. Getting ready to spend $1000 for studio lights. Wow! I'm scaring myself. Sure glad my wife of 36 years doesn't read this forum, I wouldn't make 37 years! But she gladly accepts the grandkid photos.

46 years old, but I still likes my toys. More like 46 months old in that regard.
As for dough, whoo baby. You had to ask, huh? Where do you draw the line? Computer upgrades? Software? Plug-ins? Lens hoods? Paper? Tripod?No matter how you add it up, it's about $10K.
But you know what, the end is in sight. Give me a fast telephoto (I still want a 400mm DO. ouch. damn.), a hextone inkset / CIS for my old Epson750, maybe another 420EX, and a decent set of lighting stands, and I am ready to rock and roll. Me and my kit, f-8 and be there.
These are tools, as well as toys. I bought first quality stuff that will serve me well, forever. Photography is a great skill, and the resulting product is precious. I've learned a lot, about a great many things, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I've still got a lot to learn, and I'm excited about that, too. I can't see that I've wasted a dime.

Photography is about the only thing I spend money on though.... I drive a crappy car, wear crappy clothes, and sometimes go without lunch.

$7600...but I consider the D30 the best camera enjoyment I've had in the 50 years I've been photographing. Could easily spend a lot more if I could spare it! 600mm ƒ4 IS for starters!!!

27, happily married with a beautiful baby girl [she's 15 months]
have manged to only spend ~ US$4,500... it's been a tough job behaving everytime i visit the camera stores [nearly twice a week!] but we have heavy bills to pay these few years !
It would be interesting to know the monthly income as that would be a better monitor of devotion [or madness] we have towards photography [and our D30!]
