I don't make very much because I am disabled.

I spend about 60 - 100 dollars a month, just a new game or two every month.

I'd guess about $500 including hardware and software. I usually get really hardcore into one game for a long time so I don't buy a ton. Playing Rainbow 6 and Witcher 3.

Enough. Well enough to say I've never owed anyone money. The rest is my business.

I work at a brewery and, yes, half of my work is done outside. It's also very physical
I make about 50-60k a year depending on overtime (thank god I am still hourly!).
I spend about 60 dollars a month on my hobby, on average, with splurges here and there if there are good deals to be found or I need a hardware upgrade.

I do my best to limit it to one game's worth, so I might buy two or three indie or discounted games, but generally try to avoid that 60 dollar limit.

Sadly, no. If my job was talking and viewing games all day then I wouldn't have decided to go get a degree and get out, haha.

A little off topic, I know, but how long have you been a network engineer? The reason I ask is because I just finished my degree as a network specialist, although I don't have my CCNA yet. I rarely talk to many individuals who are in this field.

1) Retail

2) Actually I don't know if I can give you a monthly estimate since I haven't actually been spending money on gaming every month lately. From time to time I'll buy a new wing on Hearthstone for $20, but I haven't really been playing other games. For a month or two I was messing around on WOW, that's about it. I still probably spend too much money on entertainment and fast food these days, though.

3) 27

4) USA

I don't really play games as much these days as I used to, but I still enjoy video games as much as ever and I still find myself playing games. But, I don't own a game system currently, and I am mainly playing one video game right now. And I'm not even really a fantastic player of the game, I just enjoy it and it keeps me occupied for now.

I really think that as you get older and your situation in life changes, other things just matter more. I'm actually happier to waste time and money to hang out with friends and to take a chance on a girl who may or may not like me, than I am to waste time and money on nothing but video games anymore.

I live in the US and I'm an hourly manager at a retailer, making just over $30k/year. I turned 23 semi-recently. My spending habits regarding gaming are really sporadic, but I would say I spend maybe $300-400 a year at the most. Uh, my spending last year is highly inflated, though, because I bought an Xbox One for my birthday.
