My economic situation changed a few months ahead of that in the US - Got myself hitched.
It has changed the time I have to commit to the hobby and as such impacted what I spend there too.
It is natural for there to be a change in priorities in a climate of change. When many cannot afford their housing and others are out of jobs it is not the wisest time to be too free with your $$. But it may soon be a good time to buy stuff cheap
