Around 2,000 also.

Before I rented everything I had to buy or upgrade my software. I invested around 25,000 from 2000 to 2020 into 3rd party plugins for different applications(Maya, 3ds, AE, PS)

If you use blender your results arent close to the established industry standard. Paying less than one months rent for an entire year of software access is perfectly fine.
