Money spent on Equipment

I did a quick calculation, and from the time I stepped up to a DSLR, I've spent almost S$9,000 on the equipment that I currently owned!! This is excluding the E-300, 14-54mm lens, kirk ballhead that I've sold... Hmm.. that's quite a sum for just a hobby... But I do enjoy the hobby a lot, even though I have no time to take photos now, but playing with the cameras once in a while and looking at my past works does give me a lot of satisfaction. :)
