I remember saving up for my starters kit and HotHead torch, going back a whole seven months ago.
I think I spent $50 on an assortment of glass and thought that it was a huge amount. Ah, the good ol' days.
About 2 months ago, I decided that I wanted to step up from the HotHead and put a list together of the things I'd need. I told my husband, "The torch I was is 'only' $167." I just didn't tell him that all the stuff I needed to make it usable would be another $700. Hunh. I guess he'll find out soon enough.
