Besides the physical media collecting I also read a lot and collect and own many books. I also watch a lot of Book tube videos and I think the same thing happens over there. Like a FOMO kind of situation where some folks have lots of book haul videos and then have way too many and then go on book buying bans. It’s the same as with discs. There’s so much to want that we all get in over our heads and everyone needs to take a step back and evaluate. It’s a good reminder for sure!
Hey Sue I get you it's hard to contain yourself when great tittles keep coming out, its like an addiction and you always want more and more but I'm glad that you did talk about it and I realized I have a problem and I'm cutting back too. Thank you for your videos :)
Sue your doing what’s best for you ignore the haters and you know who your true supporters are, we are all very proud for the steps that you have taken to improve your situation
Interesting to hear about your journey. First year or two of Covid I bought a ton of physical media. Fortunately I have a decent job and could afford to buy more without any debt issues (especially because I was staying home, both to telework and personally, and didn't have a lot of other expenses). I kind of justified the jump in purchases, as I bought a lot of Twilight Time Blu-rays, seeing as the company was going out of business, and focused on 20th Century Fox classic titles as well, due to Disney buying out Fox. Still, I thought it was overkill to an extent, and knew I didn't need all of these titles, unless I was going to open a Blu-ray rental store. I did a reset a couple years ago and started focusing mainly on classics on 4K, which has helped me drastically drop how much I'm spending yearly on physical media.
Afternoon sue. It's good you posted the debt and situation you were in. A lesson we learn in life with a credit card. I watch what I buy with physical media today. Usually I have a limit on what to buy. Keep up the good work on going debt free.
You go girl you don't listen to any of them negative people. People are so rude anymore I think you are doing a very good job staying focused not buying any physical media right now Keep up the good work.
sue don't worry about the detractors. you were very transparent about your situation , i had to file bankruptcy myself 14 years ago so actually your helping people budget issues are never easy and i think people could learn from you and others and be better budgeters,❤
Sometimes, people don’t like to see others succeed or get back up after they have been knocked down. I think the fact that you also admitted it publicly made them feel as if you’re somehow ashamed of yourself for how you got here, so they use that as leverage against you to make you feel like you have failed even more. But because you were determined from the start, you’re proving them all wrong. And that’s awesome 👏
You definitely got me thinking about my physical media habits. I spent far less in November than prior months (outside what I had already preordered). I’m sorry you had to deal with all the shitty people. You have a lot of true supporters in the community here. 🙂
hi sue: I can relate right now i'm struggling with a physical media addiction as well, but before that I was a chronic alcoholic and boy did I sure make a lot of problems for myself back then, health problems, financial problems and I was homeless for almost a year but now I am 84 months sober going strong I have a place and work concessions not a great job but it helps for the moment. so there is a way out of this darkness and chaos just have hope and look for the light which will bring you hope also. God bless you!
Never feel bad about yourself only you can make your life what you want your doing that ignore those rat poison people, keep up the good work. Your on the right trail. Thank you for your honesty. You've made a difference in my life your an example to look to on how to fix a financial situation. Love you sue keep it up stay positive.
There will always be opposing sides on RUclips/Reddit/Internet. Do not take it personal. Look at those comments as helping your video get traction. More the comments/more the views. It actually helps your bank. Plus those comments can help with content for video discussions. Most of us who follow ya on the regular understand..and we appreciate you. Stay strong and continue your path. Let others negative vibe be your positive gain. Do not let those who don’t know ya make ya stress. You got this!
I would say it does have some jealousy to it tbh.. Jealousy of Self Accountability. People are quick to jump on other people's situations because it isnt their own, but when it comes time for their own self accountability, they cant do it. So it is Jealousy. No one should be making comments about other peoples situation, we need to focus on ourselves more than we need to worry about other people.
Once I black-pilled from the dating world, that's when my DVD buying began spiraling wild. But I'm focused on horror movies. My goal was to own every single horror movie ever made all the way back to the dawn of the horror genre. It was sort of a band-aid to cover up a lot of emotional difficulties I used to feel. I have gone comfortably numb until now. A lot of things said here ring true for me too, but not as severe because I have to maintain a legal running car. This is why I have always stuck with mainly DVD and VHS tapes. I do not want to go back to the sad version of myself but that's where I would be if I was forced to get rid of all 8000 movies I own. My true philosophies in life comes from the first three seasons of the Simpsons. Bart was laughed at for having a stamp collection and there was a line in that episode that went 'gotta collect something.'
Honestly, you revealing this, was so cathartic and helpful for me and also made you more enduring to me. Please don’t let the haters get you down. Thank you so much!
I'm glad you don't regret it. You are helping out a lot and probably a lot more that don't comment. I been having spending issues and inspiring me too.
I don’t think Iv ever commented before but enjoy your videos. I just started collecting earlier this year and have noticed the fomo and regret in this community. I can honestly say in past during the debt topics I can say I didn’t fully agree with some choices but I also as an adult understand everyone deals with hardships thier own way. With that I have truly felt awful seeing you get dragged in different forums bc we all mistakes and honestly on RUclips it’s refreshing seeing someone be honest about their situation so maybe you can help someone new to the hobby or an older member of the community realize it’s okay to not keep up. I have fomo often so can’t imagine how much worse it is as a content creator
After being on this earth for 51 years, I’ve learned that people in general are morons… misery loves company… Keep doing what you’re doing Sue!! You got this!! Stay on your path!! 😁
Ignore the naysayers. You got this, Sue! Or should I say, we got this, Sue! Since I'm on a buying freeze as well when it comes to purchasing physical media. I want to pay off all of my credit card bills.
You know the internet is just like a little town.....there are people who will support you and people who remain neutral. And then you have some people who can't help themselves by talking trash about others just to feel good about themselves. When you think of it it is just so sad but hey like i said several times before in the comments of your videos i think you are doing great and i will keep supporting you no matter what ! Full support here 💪
The people that are being negative towards you obviously have no life and have nothing better to do, Keep doing you and live your life and do what’s best for you 🙂👍
People are going to say what they are going to say because they have nothing better to do other than being judgmental of others when they need to look at themselves they don't realize what you are going through taking care of your mom right now and how much work that is and your work life and everything else that you have going on it's none of their business and they should keep their 2 cents to themselves they should be encouraging you because you are doing what you need to do for yourself today you have to remember nothing in this world happens by mistake and God has you exactly where you need to be helping your folks out I would just ignore those folks who are critical and keep up the great work I love your Channel your channel and your reviews
I am so sorry that people can be so rude and cruel. Trust me, if you look at their finances, it is probably worse. They are sad people, don’t let them pull you down.
Sue you don’t need to explain yourself no one . Everyone does mistakes no one is perfect and we learn to it. Keep your head up continue what you’re doing. Stay positive . Those people say negative comments they are idiots.
Hi Sue, maybe you covered this in a previous video. But, if you haven't done this yet...I would go through your collection and start selling titles that you don't really care about. Also, if you have multiple versions of some titles, then pick the one version you want to keep and sell the others. Your videos have inspired me to do the same with my collection. All duplicates and older versions of titles on DVD are being sold other. I'm going to take what I can get and move forward!
Hold your head high your owning it and handling getting debt paid off..as person who abused cc..this year I'm debt free for first time,feel free,you'll feel same when pay them all off..
Sue, Life is not easy but it takes a lot of courage to get up and do what you are doing. So keep going. It starts of hard but gets rewarding towards the end so never lose hope my friend
your first mistake..truly..is giving a shit what anybody else thinks. Most everyone has dealt with credit card debt. You either learn from it or you don't.
Well all I got to say is that you are lucky that you live with your parents. I’m glad you are dealing with your problem because your parents won’t be here forever to save you. Good luck dear ❤
I’m lucky she lives with me ! I’m nearly bedridden and she is my nurse , caregiver, daughter & friend . She is digging out of this hole all buy herself … I’m very proud of her!
But it"s ok to get in debt for a 30 grand car ! Take no notice sue we all get in some kind of debt, i"ve been there & more than likely most of these sad trolls are in debt for something or other. ❤
…It’s not. No one should be $30k in debt for a car. Also, there is good debt and bad debt. Bluray debt is idiotic debt, which is an entirely different category.
Sorry to hear about all of the negativity thrown your way, but it just goes to show that some people have so little going on in their own lives that they decide to butt into someone else’s. Or they don’t feel good unless they are making others miserable. Glad you are not giving into them. Let them remain unhappy. Instead of playing anonymous armchair warriors maybe they should look at improving their own lives on their own. It’s also easy to be nasty when you can hide behind a screen name. Maybe they should be forthright and state who they really are. Bet very few of them would have the guts! So just ignore them and continue to focus on changing your life for the better. The “negative Nancy’s” can all go straight to hell!
Many of those people need to take it out on anyone they can to make themselves feel better. Some may even be in a similar situation and are mad at you that they haven’t been able to take accountability like you have. Who knows exactly… anyways, stay positive! I hope Santa brings you some nice physical media. 🎅🏻🙂
Keep deleting their comments, let them see they have no saying or affect in your life sue. Everyone has made financial choices they regret, all we can do is learn from them and move on. 😊❤
Hope Mama Blu-ray is doing well my son and I are headed to Bull Moose on Saturday the steelbook crew tells me they are going to be there and we both want to meet them hope all is going well with you and Merry Christmas to you and your family
Seem like you should be able to use your physical media purchases as a tax write-off, since they were used for your RUclips Videos (business). May have to have receipts!
Just take it one day at a time. I know your a big Stallone fan. Just remember what he said in Rocky Balboa. "Life ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's very mean and nasty place, and i don't care how tough you are. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. Nobody hits as hard as life but it's not about how hard you hit its how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done." You got this sue. Keep up the good work.
I’m in debt also and I’m glad you spoke on it. It’s a reality for a lot of ppl. I did hear Trump plans to lower CC interest rates for 2 yrs and I hope that happens
Those random anonymous fools on Reddit are only interested in making you feel as guilty and bad as possible, so I don’t blame you at all for deleting any negativity here on RUclips. You control your own channel. They don’t. And good on your friends for being kind and deleting it on their channels as well. I tried to report that reddit post about you because I think it goes against their own subreddit rules, but I’m unsure if anything was done. Nonetheless, there are lot of good people here that watch you and won’t be feeding into that nonsense.
Thats the problem with saying something openly on the Internet with all the positives there are going to be negatives, and thats not going to stop. So, unfortunately i guess just be selective with what you say on here. You're on the right track.
You literally had me step back and take a look at my spending. Thanks for opening up! Rooting for you Sue 🎉
Besides the physical media collecting I also read a lot and collect and own many books. I also watch a lot of Book tube videos and I think the same thing happens over there. Like a FOMO kind of situation where some folks have lots of book haul videos and then have way too many and then go on book buying bans. It’s the same as with discs.

Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate it!
Thank you for your transparency sister! It takes strength to do what you’ve done to open yourself up to the world. ❤️😁
I can't imagine the strength it took (takes) to be so honest and transparent! It's a very, very rare quality these days!
Thank you.
You go girl you don't listen to any of them negative people.
People are so rude anymore
I think you are doing a very good job staying focused not buying any physical media right now
Keep up the good work.

Nice, congratulations!!!
Well Done. Keep the good progress up❤

your first mistake..truly..is giving a shit what anybody else thinks. Most everyone has dealt with credit card debt. You either learn from it or you don't.
U should not; the disclosure has made you _relatable_ to us mortals!
You're doing the right thing Sue in being an responsible adult.
Well all I got to say is that you are lucky that you live with your parents. I’m glad you are dealing with your problem because your parents won’t be here forever to save you. Good luck dear ❤
I’m lucky she lives with me ! I’m nearly bedridden and she is my nurse , caregiver, daughter & friend . She is digging out of this hole all buy herself … I’m very proud of her!

Just ignore the trolls Sue, they need to get a life. The positives far outweighs the negatives. Don't give them the time of day.
With you taking a buying freeze, are you planning on doing disc reviews maybe?
I already review new movies in my new release review videos.
Sorry to hear about all of the negativity thrown your way, but it just goes to show that some people have so little going on in their own lives that they decide to butt into someone else’s. Or they don’t feel good unless they are making others miserable. Glad you are not giving into them. Let them remain unhappy.

It's only temporary. I need to improve my finances.
Keep deleting their comments, let them see they have no saying or affect in your life sue. Everyone has made financial choices they regret, all we can do is learn from them and move on. 😊❤
Exactly, thank you!

Seem like you should be able to use your physical media purchases as a tax write-off, since they were used for your RUclips Videos (business). May have to have receipts!
I've been doing that ever since I became monetized.
@MoviesSue Cool!
I have a family member worse with 💲than U. Still like your videos. RUclips & Facebook is crazy to me because I'm old I guess. 😄,, take care 💛
It's your life.file bankruptcy and set yourself a limit.ebay is cheaper than retail stores
I'm not filing for bankruptcy. I feel no lesson would be learned. Kind of an easy way out.
Just take it one day at a time. I know your a big Stallone fan. Just remember what he said in Rocky Balboa. "Life ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

i was there but i learned to pay them off each month so keep it up
I’m in debt also and I’m glad you spoke on it. It’s a reality for a lot of ppl. I did hear Trump plans to lower CC interest rates for 2 yrs and I hope that happens
no because your teaching other than people about beingcwise with your moneyv

I appreciate it, but im never going to edit what I say. I should be allowed to say what I want.
I guess I won’t be sending you any movies anymore, since you don’t want to have movies anymore.
That's not exactly what I said, but obviously you do what you want.
@ Thanks for letting me know, that way I won’t waste my time.
@@Celestialabe I'm confused as to why you seem angry/annoyed with me. Truly not necessary.
@@MoviesSue Not angry at all 😊 i respect your decision. Just wanted to make sure if you were still gonna collect movies or not.
I'm not denying movies. If physical media comes my way from Studios or subscribers, I will accept. I'm just not buying.
