One technique I’ve heard of and (sometimes) used in the past is how much worth are you getting out of a particular product.
So, for example, I recently received my all in pledge for the latest Core Space Kickstarter which cost me £189. So far I’ve played 4 games, that’s £47.25 per game. obviously this is a very basic reckoning and it could be argued that since I’ve had fun with building all of the card scenery that’s more worth. Also I now have a load of miniatures and terrain to use in other games which is even more worth, not to mention all of the hours I’ll spend painting.

But yeah, the more games and systems you get the less chance you get to play each game then the cost per game will be very high.

So although even if you can afford the latest fomo generator (game, miniature, book, etc) spending some time thinking how much worth you’ll extract from that product may convince you not to get it after all.

Not sure how clear all of that is but hopefully some of it makes sense.
