Roughly Australian $100 per month, which is about $75US, more or less.

I tend to buy budget or mid price cd's, or two for one, or things on special. I rarely buy full-price cd's & after 18 months or so of collecting no big boxed sets. I'm coming round to the philosophy as "less is more" because of not only the storage space required of a big collection, but also because I like to listen to friend's cd's as well as radio. So I'm beginning to buy what I really need & am 100% interested in, going to listen to regularly, rather than just once or twice. If I had the internet at home I would use things like YouTube to listen to classical as well - maybe in the future?

I've also been struggling with giving up smoking, in the past month it's been quite successful. So I have a bit more money to spend on going to classical concerts, I plan to go to about 10 a year, mainly chamber concerts.
