Back when I worked at the hobby distributors I spent a fair share of time behind the retail desk. One of my funniest memories is when a wife or mother would be buying a gift, and would ask for something in "Ho scale". I enjoyed explaining about O scale, and that H-O was "Half O", O, or 0 scale being 1/43 and HO being 1/87.

Get a job in the industry that makes your hobby. Then you can get stuff for free. I lost several thousand dollars worth of models in a fire, but I can't complain too much since most of them were freebies from the shop. Most of my books also came from working for years at a book distribution warehouse.
That said, I still spend around 10% of my income on books and models.
