Up until six years ago, which is when I sold off the bulk of my total collection, I would typically set aside anywhere between $80-120 a paycheck to put towards my collection. During the Christmas overtime season, I would up it to $150-180, and that was usually when I would usually splurge on the rare games.

Now? Eh, maybe about $60 or so a month, and it's usually towards digital titles, or games that I want that have lowered in price. I'm limited by the confines of an apartment now, so having a game room is impractical. That is one thing about digital gaming that I do appreciate: it allows me to still fill that void.
