i've already paid them back like at least $80,000

i got them a nice ass honda odyssey (shit's like $40k), and i pay their mortgage ($700 a month), and the family phone bill ($200 a month)

That's brutal.

I think most people should have paid off their cars in a year or two but after seeing what kind of damage it can do to someone's wallet it's really daunting.I hope you get it all paid off quickly; that is one thing I never want to have to do.

>>381190413

And when will you have time to play anything when you're busy slaving away working?

working 40 hours a week at gamestop would net you less than 1k a month.

Terrible idea, just by not working you'd be having more enjoyment. May as well spend that time gaining a useful enjoyable skill so you apply to non shit jobs instead too.

>>381190750
I think it's more of a regional thing, I take a trip to the mall in this large college/uni city and a lot of the stores here have had a Help Wanted sign on them for months. Grocery store I go to has also complained that it's been understaffed for baggers, I think the kids around here think it's better to have a large student debt than work a part-time job.

i'm still able to live pretty decently but rent is like $1500 in california so I'm left with about $3k a month for saving and buying things i want

solution is to make more money and I can't abandon them, because they're not dicks they're just poorfags, grew up with food stamps so they gave up a lot of money to raise me

Yeah. If you don't have some social anxiety bullshit, then chatting with people is about the easiest thing in the world. Most of the time, you don't even need to say anything when they monologue about nothing. Just pretend to be listening and smile.

>>381191081
you need a higher total number of used items sold than new
so one $300 system will fuck that ratio over hard

if you sell two new switches, and don't sell over 10 used games, you're in trouble with management.

Your story's not matching up here, anon.

Either way, I manage to have plenty of time for vidya, a social life, D&D, writing, painting, reading, and even some movies here and there. The fact that you don't is on you. If entertainment is that important to you, analyze where you're spending time you don't really like spending it and shift your priorities.

There's this thing called living in the outskirts of a big city. My gf lives 2 hours on the outskirts the opposite direction, we travel an hour each to center to work/date/etc.

I haven't even gone to the gym since I hurt my shoulder, but that's usually another 6 hours/week lost.

To be honest I don't even played vidya much anymore, I moved to boardgames so I can combine my social activities with games on weekends.

Thinking about this I had a troublesome though.
How come the average none working wife was so mediocre at cooking if it was one of their main jobs? Did they simply not care about improving?

>>381193021

Because most people do things mainly for others and not themselves, and seeking improvement would mean they are not presently adequate, which horrifies them in their constant quest for acceptance.

In Finland it's even better, you get 250 € a month and a loan of ~600 € a month with zero interest. And if you graduate you only have to pay about 2/3 of the loan back.

You get 450€ a month for free. Well, in a couple of months you return to 250€ and instead of the extra 200€ just get 70% of your rent, which is most likely a lot more than 200€. I'll be getting 750€ unless I take the loan, which is to be over 800€.

It's not that much though, I can't wait to graduate so I can start pulling bigger benefits.
