Not really much for the amount of things I get... Fortunately, here (in Czech Republic) you can still get rare parts (vacuum tubes, RF ceramic caps etc) for little money, if you know where to look for and if you can afford to wait.

Too much. Even with all of the components I have salvaged over the years there is always that one part that you don't have and end up shelling out cash for.
@ASHPoD You paid for an adobe product? Ouch.
Who says I paid for it? I'm 16! My dad buys all my crap teehee!
I am mostly into audio related things now, building amplifiers, designing speakers, stuff of that nature. I usually spend 100-150/week, making 465/week

Lucky, I started getting into electronics when I was 13 (19 now) and my parents have very rarely bought me anything to support my hobby. On the rare occasion that my dad will bring me home something, it's usually a container of heat shrink or some wire. Which is much appreciated don't get me wrong, but yeah, I'm jealous.
I tend to spend between $10 and $100 a month on electronics; depending on what my current project is. It's more towards the $10 range though. I'm a poor college student who is in a lot of debt.

I got into it at age 10, really started doing stuff at age 12. My dad used to be into electronics (I actually developed an interest independently), so he actually yells at me if I don't finish a project.
