Im 18 years old and have been collecting things my entire life. From Bakugan and WWE figures, to vintage snapbacks and Jordans I’ve just always loved collecting things. Over the last maybe two years I’ve gotten really into Funko pops. My collection is almost 500 peices worth roughly $7000 Canadian (according to Funko app I know it’s not accurate). Everybody in my life except my girlfriend tell me very often how stupid it is I spend my money on toys and that I’ve always been like this and needed stop (as far as when I start collecting.. I really go all in and put a lot of effort and energy into my collection). I’m one of the only kids I know turning 19 and definitely the only one out of my friend group who doesn’t spend every cent of their spending money on alcohol or nights out every weekend. When they drink, I funko. I work hard and with my spending money I choose to spend it on Funko pops. If I don’t judge people for spending money on things I don’t personally think are worth it, I dont know why people think they can towards me. Does anyone else feel similar ? Am I maybe blind and I am spending my money unwisely? Funko pops give me so much excitement from hunting for new pops, re-organizing my collection, just looking at pops, or meeting new people from funko pops, and to me it is worth every penny. Thanks for reading if u made it this far:).
