Me, for one.

Through hard experience I've learned that in times when I don't have any
money to buy gas, that's the times when I do not dare step foot in a
thrift store or go to a hamfest to look for stuff. So I've managed to put
it under some control.

Also, there comes a time where you either have to give it up, because you
know its going to master you the larger it grows, or you master it by
making it work for itself.

I chose the latter ;)
