Can you have TOO many degrees?

Personally, I see absolutely ZERO harm in having multiple degrees if that is how you like to spend your time, you have the funds to do so, and it isn't hurting anyone.

Sure, you could spend your money in another way as bluebooger suggested and buy books, attend conferences etc. but if you prefer to learn new things by taking courses, go for it! There are many reasons why someone might prefer to earn a degree instead of simply reading books, consuming videos etc. I'm also willing to bet that if you are earning a degree, you are likely also seeking out additional resources like books, videos, magazines etc. anyway.

You mention you have the cash, so that doesn't sound like you have a "poor ability to manage money" to me. I agree with you, that it could be considered an "expensive hobby" but there are plenty of people in this world with hobbies that are equally as "expensive" and nobody takes issue with those hobbies. For example, if you took the same money and bought a sailboat to take up that sailing as a hobby, I bet nobody would consider it showed "poor judgement" etc.. As long as you're taking care of yourself, how you spend your discretionary funds is nobody's business but your own!
This ^^^^^^^ 
To each his/her own. Have fun !!
