| For a consumer, what % of income is appropriate to spend on LEGO before it is
considered a..."problem"? Or is it calculated based on square feet overtaken
by LEGO in the home? Asking for a friend.

Barely out of bed, and I think I have already found the post of the day winner.

First, we cleared off a bookcase so we could display our LEGO collection. Then,
the china cabinet. The movie drawer, the toy box, and the game shelf went next.
Having taken over every surface in that first room, it spread, inching its way
around the TV shelf, the mantle, and the side tables. Finally, the office succumbed
as its storage areas were just too easy a mark. We drew the battle line at the
kitchen door and won!
So, yeah, 3 rooms are full and we definitely have a 'problem.' (We don't
talk about the basement.)

| The first rule of Lego is don't talk about the 'problem'.

It depends what other outgoings you have.
20% is a huge amount to be spending on lego if you are spending 95% on essentials.
Whereas 20% is not much if you are only spending 10% on essentials.

My husband considered it to be a problem when I took over "his" office.
To be fair, it's my office now. Also.. he NEVER used it so it's better
off.
AND LEGO IS NEVER A PROBLEM... THEY ARE!
