How the fuck do you people get enough money to buy vidya?

>1950: average annual income - $3,210
>1950: average house price - $8,450
>2017: average annual income - $41,250
>2017: average house price - $200,400

What went wrong?

I didn't play a single vidya in college, instead I spent 4 solid years studying. Now I make 250k in a 40 hour work week so I have both the time and money for it.

But I don't care about vidya anymore.

Contact your lawmakers and tell them you want more housing zones.

I've always found that selling my body at the alleyway behind walgreens is a good route.

Literally the cheapest hobby out there barring 3rd world sports like football.
I spent about 200 euros and got for ps4/PC
MGSVTPP
MGSVGZ
Near tomatoes
System shock
System shock 2
Bioshock
Bioshock 2
Bioshock infinite
Darkest Dungeons
Tales of beseria
Dark Souls 2 complete
Dark Souls 3 complete
Shadow of Mordor

Not played any of those games in the past for a multitude of reasons. Each will probably give me at least 15 hours of gameplay. Name me another hobby you can get over 150 hours worth of enjoyment for 200 euros.

>hurr you forgot to factor in the price of the PC/Console
Everyone should own a PC anyway, gaming or not and the console doubles as entertainment platform for films/music in the living room.

Gaming is dirt fucking cheap.

you can literally get homes for under $100k in most flyover states which of course brings down the average. also, the figure includes mobile homes which are like $25k new.

>>384656669
250k is annual pal.

But honestly even if I made 250k a week I would still post on /v/. You don't suddenly become less of a loser because you make money.

>>384656168

>>384656428

I wish, average house in my area is probably around 750K-1Mil

Boomers won't die for another 30+ years. Houses won't be affordable by the time you need to buy one.

>>384656428
I just bought a 900 sqft 2 bed/1 bath house in Kingman AZ for $52k (in cash). Granted, I only made $15k a year, I still lived at home with my parents and had them drive me everywhere so I could save up enough money to move out. It worked, though, and now I don't need as much money for anything, really.

>>384656643

My parents have a 3000k+ sq ft house (built in 1994) in an up-scale housing community, living in a 95%+ white county for under 170k. Don't have to live in a shithole to get a well-priced home so long as you aren't a cucked-lib tard who fell for the city meme.

Boomers shot themselves in the collective foot by screwing over the next generation like they did, because now Gen X/Millenials/Gen Z aren't purchasing houses. Gen X sort of is, but Millenials have like a 25% home ownership rate.

Millenials aren't interested in buying over priced housing, meaning the Boomers effectively can't sell their houses for as much as they want because no one is buying. Dumb fucks don't realize that housing isn't necessary when apartments exist.

>>384656168
I buy old shit on sale for like $5 every once in awhile using birthday and Christmas money I ration over the whole year.

I'd rather have infinite free time to play the games I have and cheap shit then get a job to buy new stuff and lose 8+ hours a day.

>>384656168
never payed more than 20 for a game, between sales and HB I have like 8 games on steam

And I pirate the rest

>>384658483
No. No one wants to build and live in backwater Appalachia. The housing rules are enforced by entitled boomers who regularly stop cities from building anything higher thanclike 3 stories.

>>384658334
Speaking of déja vu, I keep seeing this nazi catboy on /v/ and I wanted to know if you're the one that keeps posting it

>tfw working two part time jobs and am effectively "homeless", meaning only minor expenses right now and am actually saving some money
>Have to be apartment searching, but constantly exhausted because one job keeps swapping days around and the other is early mornings
>Not even sure how I'll maintain savings once I finally have a place, much less actually keep up with gaming, because one job is seasonal (with possibility of small post-summer hours since the managers like me) and the other I'm already on near fired status because someone keeps fucking up with the money and I've been blamed for it because I had to sign in to someone's till to close it and it was over 100 bucks short
The only "gaming" I've done in the last 12 months is shitty phone garbage and it sucks. Won't be much different going forward either. It's painful hearing about my few friends all aging splatoon 2 and such while I can't even get a switch.
Wish I could just mooch off of my mom for a place to live, but I have just the right amount of mediocre pride that I can't allow myself to do that.

So what you're saying is the housing market will fix itself pretty much.

I live with my parents who don't make me pay rent while I have a job and go to college so I got disposable income to burn.

I'm an American and I never got it either. I still live with my parents and literally the only negative thing is that women don't like hearing that. Other than that I pay almost nothing, get to save most of my money, and don't have to worry about shitty room mates doing fucked up shit because they had a bad day.
