Hi CB77 Don246 - alas, you are. I'm 60 this year and I know what you mean. 

The good thing is that there are occasional sales on, so rather than pay full whack, you can wait for products to come available for less money. So that's individual volumes of FC and collector planes. 

Is it expensive ? Yes, but it's custom software development for a niche market. Really, it's like buying a pair of handmade shoes - the quality is not something everyone can afford, or even wants. So I'd say sit back and wait for FC4 to go on sale. It's worth it in the end. 

There's also the option to pay in installments via Klarna or similar, of course.

Wait for the sales, get the module that you think suits you best.... if health holds get another one next sale.

I'm 69 this year and on a pension as well... as others have said, just wait for the sales if you can.

But I know how you feel, bills to pay, car plus motorbike to keep on the road, robbing Peter to pay Paul etc... oh, and looking after Ludo the dog adds up as well.

Well fortunately you have the first three and vol 4 isn't worth diddly so you're not missing much. Start saving for vols 5-7.

They have a sale on at the moment Vol1 , 2 ,3 are very good price BUT Vol 4 the one I am missing is still out of reach for me why not price it the same as the other Volumes.

Because it's their latest module. It's only out for a month or so.

 

Look again in a year or so; it's likely much cheaper then.

Cut back on the booze and smokes and chasing women and then get fc4. It's worth it if you like old birds and I think you do.

Me neither, I found it was the cost of cocaine that caused the most damage to my hobby funds.
