    I get 950 PLN (which is 3-4 dollars per PLN) per month and I am not living at edge of poverty, you know. I wish I had 1000 $ dollars per month.

    Unless, of course, you're living in a country where $1000 a month would qualify you as well off. Then you're completely fine.
    So called it.

    I mean, I can break even living on $1000, but it'd be a really shitty situation and I'd be eating poorly, and I'd just barely break even, without health insurance, with no safety net at all. It would be, literally, paycheck to paycheck, and hoping that nothing will delay that paycheck even just a few days.

    It's not 'just' a matter of knowing when to say no, like man you're just a louse with money and can't control yourself, it's a matter of what you're going to have to sacrifice to not go broke.

    That living, would be substandard, and frankly unsustainable in a long run, because eventually something will happen that will require a few extra hundred bucks, that you just don't have, and then you're falling hard.

    It's really not as hard as it seems, you just need to know when to say no and when to ignore things you would otherwise get checked out. Living poor really does suck, but it's not that hard.

    Food and housing costs are the major eater of money for low income people.

    I already know that $1000 won't be enough, unless I have a friend who'd be willing to put up with me for free.

    I'd rather be a faithless man who ignores the world's needy and downtrodden than a hypocrite who only focuses on faith and not on works.

    Trying to be edgy it may seem, but if you can only focus on yourself anyway and can't do so at other people, you yourself might be need help and you're just trying to help yourself. If can't help yourself anyway, how can you then help the others?

    This is basically what the Christianity says too.

    Putting into practice is where most churches fail.

    So $20 from most retailers to let you buy it once and never pay again is too much of a hassle? That's hardly a ridiculous price...

    I would rather play Secret World with those damn "lottery" boxes and with gay cash shop cosmetic items than not play it at all. That's my point. And it's not that I'm too stingy to pay those ridiculous prices for games sometimes, even though I sometimes might be, it's just too much of a bother for me to convert physical money into e-money.

    You do realize that in most things that go F2P, you end up with restrictions on content / abilities? And of course, many of them turn to those damn "lottery" boxes for money from the cash-shop anyway?

    Wouldn't being f2p make it completely overrun by terrible people though? That's usually how it works.

    I'll think about it then!

    (I can't buy it on Steam until they put it on sale though, I'm physically incapable of buying anything full-price on Steam)
