video games are making me broke
sauceatron | 11:25 PM on 12.19.2009 6 comments


look. i'm a hard working man. i don't make a lot of money, but enough to live as a single american male. for some reason, i'm always looking at my bank account and go, "where the hell did all my money go?!". i'll then look to my left at my shelf, and see the loads of video games that are there, and the stack on the top of my xbox are the ones i recently bought, then look at my steam account, and see all the new fun i just downloaded..

man i got problems! i don't realize that this money is supposed to be going towards .. uhh oh i dunno .. ELECTRICITY, but instead i spend it on video games! what's wrong with me! i'm getting married soon. i'm glad i'm catching this now. i need to slow down with this stuff man.. it's like crack!

this is just a warning to everyone. when playing video games, take your time. have some fun and relax. there's no reason to have to play hours and hours on end. you'll just end up broke.



i'm so lucky my fiancee loves me otherwise this would be the end of me.

I sometimes have the same problem, but if you make it a rule to limit yourself in terms of full-price purchases right after release, you'll end up saving tons of money in the long run. Also, avoid Gamestop at all times

Giving up stuff when you're younger often works out well when you're older. We were always on a pretty strict budget when my husband and I first got married and we both had to rein back in on money spent on hobbies (he used to rebuild classic cars and I had gaming)... we were able to pay off the mortgage pretty quickly and build up our retirement savings - and now we can both enjoy our hobbies with few monetary restrictions!
