I'm making a site that I'm having trouble wrapping my head around...it
makes sense in my head but I can't seem to figure out the best way to
code it.

Basically, there are different users levels...
beta, free, paid, etc...
and there are different user types
example: gamer, programmer, dog... etc
but each user has his own set of "objects" he can use...for example a
dog would have his bones, collar, etc
a gamer would have his PC, photos, videos etc... a programmer would
have his favorite projects, his current projects, his ideas, and to do
lists etc

and they can pay for new "objects" or "features" basically, I need to
figure out how to keep track of all this in the most optimized way as
possible... here's an example
User level: paid
User type: programmer
because he's a paying user, he gets all the objects for his user type,
make sense? so we need to then ON his "control panel" let him see the
objects he has since he's paid so like in a 3 column layout... blocks
on left and right and then a center column with.. whatever..so example
blocks would be, projects, blog...etc I hope this makes sense. any help
is much appreciated.
