I sure before you had this hobby you had others like it.. classic car
restoration? You're going to be drawn to these creative/technical
creation/restoration type hobbies. They are going to be over the top and
expensive and take a lot of time. Most of us are this way. Why do you think
you see so many classic cars sitting in the driveways of collectors. Its just
what we do.
Jobs are important but you have to make time for yourself. Maybe you are
putting to much pressure on yourself to build the "perfect" collection and not
spending enough time enjoying them and sharing them with others. Carve out
some time to have an arcade party with friends, or just take a week off from
the job, decompress and play them. You have a great collection.. I've seen
it! Most people here only have a couple machines tops. You have a
very respectable collection.
Find a way to rebalance work, life, and your hobby. There is room for all three
but you have to work to keep the balance.
