Not as much as I would like to In all seriousness, at 24 yrs old, I'm just now getting to the point in my life where I'm making a solid income, but with that comes the marriage this year and a new house/land, so buying will be down this year. Up to this point, I didn't go too crazy with my spending, because I couldn't. My first bow was purchased by my father when I was 13 (Golden Eagle Talon). I hunted with that for a while, then in 2000 I was given a Jennings Buckmaster 2000 for Christmas. I hunted with that bow up until the 2006 season, when I bought my Ross CR334, then hunted with that for one season, sold it in favor of my current 101st airborne because I was making the switch to left handed. I did spend more on arrows, sights, releases, etc, because I wanted to have quality gear, but I haven't upgraded frequently, and I doubt I will much in the near future. If I could, however, you bet your butt I would be I love trying out new gear.
