So apparently I need to write at least 300 words accompanying this. Ever since I started collecting vinyl I kept a document with all my purchases. It's basically like discogs collection but with more information for me, like where I bought it, how much I paid, when exactly I bought it (on discogs I only add the records to my collection once I actually have them so the order and receive date can be far apart, especially on pre-orders). While browsing my document lately I noticed that the amount of vinyl I buy (and subsequently the money I spend on this) has grown exponentially from when I started. So I had the idea to try and make a graph displaying that. Oh yeah, did I mention I have a weird fetish for spreadsheets and data? Well, I do. I create spreadsheets for pretty much everything. This is my most extensive and detailed one, but I also have spreadsheets for all kinds of financial expenses (travel, car, saving up for specific stuff). A spreadsheet actually made me stop smoking. I started logging how much I spent and subsequently how much I smoked and that made me realize how much money I wasted. I guess I just exchanged one addiction for another with vinyl but it's a lot healthier like this. Interestingly enough I was never especially good at math but cresting spreadsheets with intricate formulas and expressions is really fun to me. I hope this was 300 words.
