And that is why most large/nice layouts are built by older folks... when you are young, you are typically not making as much money, you are buying a house, car, furniture, all the stuff for the children on and on and on. Then when you get older, all your stuff is paid for, the kids are gone, minimal expenses, so more money (and time) can be devoted to the hobby.
