Damn, it's funny, I was just thinking "gee, we haven't been doing a spending thread this year"—but here it is. We have been doing it. I just keep forgetting to update my own. Alas. Year is almost over.

@KW: Still got 3 months to go, so you could still post a summary or estimate of spending.

Anyway, I only update my post after I purchase a game. Last update was in july .. haven't bought a new game since. Not that there weren't enough interesting games, but mostly due to lack of time to play them and lack of local storage to download big games. The lack of storage is the downside of having the Switch as a home console, if only a external HD could be hooked up to store games (like with the Wii U) I might have bought and downloaded more games. But that doesn't solve the lack of time to play them...
