OP complains that they're broke making $70K a year. But some enterprising commenters delve into their post history, which demonstrates some very expensive gaming cabinets and consoles throughout OP's large apartment.

>I saw your post on your arcade room &….. Fricking heck…. You have money. Your entire place is massive with a ton of arcade stuffs that’s well beyond what the majority of Americans can afford…. This post smells like the one about the “self-made” woman who’s parents built her a $100,000 “tiny” home she could live in, paid for all her living expenses, made $60K a year working for her dad’s company, & only managed to save $7,500 for a downpayment on a 3% mortgage for a house. That’s pretty much OP in a nut shell it seems.

>TBH I was on your side, as a g*mer myself… and I saw you defend your post history and I was like yea I respect that… then I looked… buying multiple arcade machines and having them in your house? Really?

>The audacity and entitlement it took you to make this post while literally having an arcade in your apartment is fricking insane.

Similar to arguing about student loan forgiveness with a friend.
He said a buddy of his had taken out $100k and didn’t finish. I was feeling sympathetic until he said the guy was still making $80k rn lmao.

80k and not finishing is not that bad unless you live in leftoid paradise.

correct lol, I was like that sucks but it seems to be within his means.
The way he phrased the costs it seemed like he did not apply for any grants, scholarships, etc. and just rawdogged $50k/yr

Theyre posting on antiwork about how poor they are

Not poor just dumb. But then again that's the majority of "poor" people so maybe you have a point. Just further proves being poor is mostly a choice

It will always be more based to make something with your own hands. Than it is to buy it to just consoom.

OP could honestly collapse all this down into a single gaming PC, stop burning through every dollar xze makes, and stop renting.
Sometimes, poverty is just a mindset.

I'm a hardcore utilitarian in my personal life so the shitload of stuffed animals, posters, and other trinkets seem like such a massive waste of space and money tbh. Like, are they constantly using/looking at all of those things? I own a monstrously expensive computer system & related equipment but I use it for pretty much everything. I have some expensive kitchen appliances as well but I also use them constantly, etc. I don't understand the mindset of buying tons of crap that will be rarely used or can be better replaced with something smaller and better.

Dopamine hits from obtaining "trophies"
Collectable consumer crap makes for good trophies, since you need no skill to "win" it... just money and maybe some patience
They could probably be sold for profit, but that involves a shitload more patience, guy will probably just keep hoarding instead
