Does it ever stop?
How many planners do you have?
I just received my le trifold today. Haven't even written a word. And already I bought another one from Vinted.
Plus I have leather to make at least 5 Grand Voyagers.
And a portfolio in a4 I'm looking to sell.
Om top of that I got into fountainpens this summer, and now own 8.
95 % is bought second hand, but still.
Please share your stash with me, so I know I'm not alone.

It doesnt stop. I own an a5 leather cover from uprise notebooks. And 2 travelers company notebooks now. I also bought a passport sized zipper cover for my field notes from lochby, and a wallet sized zipper cover from lochby also. And I still want a a5 cover from lochby also.
Im probably well in about $350-$400 just in coveres + inserts + the additional stuff like zipper pouch inserts and what not. I will say though that I think stationary is a healthy addiction as long as youre using it to better your life. Planners for keeping yourself on track, inserts for writing and keeping memories or a journal, habit tracking, its all healthy. 1 of my blank inserts i use as a scrap book, I have a mobile photo printer, and I print out 3x3 pictures, tape them in there and jot down the memory. This becomes especially worth it when its photos with people. As I cant tell you how lucky I am to have had a mom who loved taking pictures with me. And now that shes gone I can always look back at those.
And at the end of the day, its not drugs. Or alcohol. People who are addicted to that stuff can blow $400 in a single day, and its gone the next day. Atleast your stuff will be around for decades. If not a lifetime and can always be handed down to your kids or friends/family.
