SAME BOAT!!
It's good to strive for "Balance" in all things but I too lean towards the extremes when it comes to gear. I tend to cut everything else out, and buy gear. No travel, no vacation, no this, no that, just saving up for the next bit of kit. It can really get in the way some times, but then again, practice can get in the way too, or rather, life can get in the way of practice, which is why I had to push so many things out of the way to allow for practice time. Again, balance is better, but I"ve not been great on balancing my love of playing guitar and gear with everything else. Usually given the choice, I"ll choose practice/guitar.

Kind of wondering what your thoughts are regarding this
Im only 20, but I have recieved a summer job the past years, and last year full time job to earn some to go abroad.
However when I was slightly younger, everything was spent on music.
You know the usual summerjob you get job the whole summer then get to enjoy a couple of weeks.
Well I spent it all on a Axe FX and couldnt afford to do anything else that summer!
Next summer same thing but with a suhr guitar.
And this spring I got a new 7 string guitar so know I dont have money for anything else than rent pretty much
Good or bad thing?
Like an addiction.
Anyone else doing this?
