I'm not where i want to be for sure but i can't just STOP shooting all together. Honestly beyond protection, it's a hobby.... i actually ENJOY going to the range meeting fellow shooters, talking guns etc. So usually I'll just go with a friend and just get one lane. This way we can watch each other shoot, call shots and BS for awhile. I find that I get the same level of enjoyment without throwing near as much lead down range.
Hell this past weekend I spent a good portion of my time just assisting a family of shooters with a scope issue they were having. I just try to offset it by firing only what i can afford to lose. Like the few boxes of Tula .223 i have. I don't mind shooting that because it cost me next to nothing and i seem to run across it at least once a week at pre-gouge pricing.
