Ted et al, The first step is understanding you have no addiction.
The second step is acknowledging your have a dedicated avocation. You could be forever buying non-working lottery tickets with what you spend but instead you are wisely constructing something tangible that is useful and with that dedication, you're making quality items from quality materials and assembled in a Quality Controlled environment. So here's an idea for what you can do with what otherwise would be superfluous by duplication, Elecraft equipment: Contact your local ham club, do you have an auction or better yet, a hamfest? No? Is there one local enough, that would do. Now go and talk to the powers that be and offer your time and assembly skills with them buying the kit in mind and raffling it off. If it flies as it likely will, they may want to do the same again the following year. And then you get to build for free.
