Oooooh my, I feel totally horrible now, mine would be way, WAY over that ... I don't even need to check at all. Wish I had your restraint, OP! Well done
I'll have to dig out the emails for the total I would have spent and how many items I bought, but I parted with $0 and had 15 oders this past year. Lots of browsing the Weekly Freebies section.
Just an estimate based on $35 a month average with 3 months thrown in at $70, eg the months that the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy / Nutcracker Ballet bundles, so about $525. Which is, make no mistake, a lot of money (for me). Past years I was spending about what you spend, maybe even reaching about $1000 the 1st year when I went for broke starting in March 2016. That would put me at an estimated $4500 - $5000 6 year total.
$60 for the year.

The accounts in this household total to barely under $6k this year, about $4.7k ("MSRP" $68.5k) of that is mine. That's not flexing, that's thinking, "dang, I think we got a bit carried away, but there was literally nothing else to do." I don't think I'll have any other year that totals anything near this, as this has been by first year using Daz and all that I bought this year was basically one gigantic core library that should last me a while, and for the series I've started on I've snagged just about everything in the genre that I want. Coming at a time when everything's making the shift to G9 means it was the perfect time to build up G8/.1 and a bit of G3.
...looking at the total Daz expenditures for the past year on my bank's site yields a total figure of 1,698.69$ spent at on Daz purchases (icluding PC+/Daz+ membership purchases). Total number of transactions is 177 with an average cost of 9.60$ per order. Don't have any other statistics such as full price value, savings value, or quantity of items purchased as the bank doesn't track that and I wasn't about to slog through an entire year's order history and manually add it all up (I used to get paid for doing that kind of work).
I take this as an inspiration. Spent a fortune last year once more but have the will to be at at least only in the 3-digits this year.
$2,362.52 in 114 transactions (probably more than half of which were $0). I'm a little surprised it's even that high, because I was perpetually broke last year.
...I should have a significantlysmaller total for this coming year than I did in 2022, particularly given how lacklustre sales have become along with the bulk of new products being G9 oriented (which I have no interest in).
Today's sale is pretty "meh".
I'm hardly past twice the amount i intended to spend since last summer.
Same here. Maybe a little more but definitely under $100
From 1/2/2022 to 12/30/2022: $5,553.69
But I switched from Poser to DAZ Studio almost 3 years ago. :)

Yeah, I don't need to that kind of sobering realization... lol. I made this mistake once when I checked the Daz Deals "Total Spent" page. Never again.
That is sensible, especially if you use what you bought. Excellent!
Yeah, I don't even want to know.
I have no idea how much I spent over the whole year but I spent more than that in just the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale
whatever the total, its too much. but now broke until i pay off some credit. 2023 will be much less.
Ha. I did check.
On the positive side, it did conclusively prove what's possible if you maximize all the discounts and avoid buying items made for the newest generation of figures as much as possible, as buying large discounted gift cards to make all purchases from, avoiding buying heavily into Gen 8.1 figures until recently, and now avoiding the Gen 9 figures has proven to be a very solid strategy. In fact, I spent FAR less per item this year than I ever have in the past with the average price of the items I've purchased working out to run in the vicinity of a very reasonable $2.25 US per item. Which sounds great until you know that I bought over 5100 items in 2022.
Well, I finally checked and I purchased 3,631 items but I only spent just under $2 ($1.998) per item. So, not too bad
My Daz 2022 total was $48.43, but I spent signifcantly more than that over at the "other" store.
All I know is that I spend too much and that I have to rein it in this year, as I want a new sewing machine.
2018 $1,211
2019 $1,702
2020 $1,536
2021 $686
2022 $507
Take a guess when Daz raised their prices and I suddenly became more selective.
Erph...looking at the Daz browser add-on, granted this is life-time.
Full Price Value: $46,607.00
Current Value: $25,853.70
Total Spent: $3,075.40
Jesus Christ I just went back and looked on my banks website, and I've spent about $4000 on daz assets since I started rendering in fall of 2020. That's not including stuff from renderosity or renderotica. Not to mention the two different pcs I have built to carry out this hobby. Yes, it's expensive. No, I don't regret any of it.. Probably gonna tone it down and stop buying so many assets though, unless I absolutely need them. I have made back $1200 by selling content on Affect3d though, and thats still rolling in.
If you're reporting your income on taxes, make sure you take tax deductions for expenses. You can also deduct office space in your home. There are limits to how much you can deduct based on income but the tax breaks help.
