I'm content to just use my regular income to fund my TF collecting, and if I plan on purchasing a lot of toys or a big expensive one, I pre-plan the purchase, such as saving up my money before the toy's/toys' release when it's/they're released, I go, "Just take my money!" Preparing for TF purchases is so much easier now with the interwebs informing us of what products are going to be released in the near future.

And as others have said, toys are generally a really poor form of financial investment. Only a select number of toys appreciate, and even then, it's pretty slow. I buy toys because I love to play with them. It doesn't make a huge difference to me if they appreciate or depreciate since I have no intention of selling them anyway.
