I think Kevin was kind of talking to himself there, in the sense that he was reminding himself that debt was bad and explaining why he spends $25 per month--so that he doesn't go into debt. He also qualified it by saying that according to Ramsey, debt is bad, not "according to Ramsey, you are all idiots because you go into debt to buy games you rarely play."
I spent $572 at my local favorite game store last year. I spent approximately $200 on shipping, thrifting, and other game-related purchases. I earned about $800 through selling books, or other games, etc. I don't really think I got $800 of fun out of my game purchases. I just didn't play all that much, due to work, schedule conflicts, general busy-ness, and not having much of a gaming family. I probably meet with my group every other month, and play something at home twice a month. I'm seriously going to cut back on my game purchases, and meta-game purchases, and put the money into something else.
