Synths are a shitty investment in general.
If you can't be with the one you love (hardware) - love the one you're with. Keep the pieces you can't find easily in classifieds or eBay - or that you have an emotional attachment to. Sell everything else. You can't count on prices to stay constant so you can buy back stuff you want when your wallet has recovered.
Entrainer's list is nice - but I'd say it's too big. Try going completely minimal; no reason to not use your DAWs EQs and comps. Better; you'll learn to appreciate the differences and extra work involved to make it shine; it forces you to get the most out of a few tools, and hones your workflow. If it takes you 15 minutes to get in the mood and more to get your setup in order - that's a timesink, and switching to something completely different is not going to work.
Going DAWless is a really big step to take, and requires a powerful sequencer solution.
If you buy stuff you don't use, the only person you hurt is yourself. "Deserve" has nothing to do with it.
