I'm self employed and single too, so it's no dramas as long as I keep my eyes off the genuine Ritchey-Chrétien's and country real estate. I did what I did with most interests, I set aside a certain amount and then spent it all on the best setup that allowed. Scope, some EP's, Books, batteries, folding tables, all the basics. Aside from a few homemade bits and say 2 good eyepieces ( when I figure out what they are for my scope) I hope not to be spending much more for many years to come. I learnt a valuable lesson at my first astro camp, even before I had bought the setup. I saw some people with so much s*^% that they spent half the night setting it up and the other half swapping bits and pieces to and fro. I sensed that accessories could get in the way of looking up and determined to be content with a basic setup.
