I really try to break even...no salary (will probably make an exception for the National) goes into my collection...I can spend anything I make on ebay, freelance writing...and I include my (modest) expense reimbursements in the collection pool. Also generally slide a bonus in there now and then. I would say it comes out to about 5% of my income. I work for my family, I make extra money for me is my general mantra. I will pay national expenses from the family budget. It is both ill and well defined.
