How do you afford your bills?

[Team_Supa]

Fixed commitment beats the incidentals for sure if you have no time outside work or finish work at abnormal hours like some of the people here and myself :P.

Now, consider the cost of other things you do outside of WoW.

PC games = $39-60 for a few days of playtime, not including online fees
Console games = $60 each
One night at the pub = $100 easy
Dinner at a decent steak restaurant = $40 (per day; one person)
Dinner at a cheap steak restaurant = $20 (per day; one person)
Lunch at most decent restaurants = $30 (per day; one person)
Satellite/cable/FiOS TV = $39-100/month
Internet broadband = $50-100/month (sorry, basic cheapie DSL won't do it for 5-boxing).

Thanks for reminding me how expensive life is :P

How can people afford to smoke? Assuming 5$ a day per pack, that's 150$. All going up in flames.

Seems the poor people I know always complain about not having money, yet smoke like crazy. WTF.

People rag on me for paying 100$ for a game, but I can AFFORD it. I'm not behind in any bills, I have no loans, a nice retirement package saved up, and decent amount of money in the bank. Don't ever accuse me of "wasting" money, especially if you smoke or drink. bah!

OMG my signature costs me money?!! How many are in a pack? Does this include my online signature?

Hrmm, well, I guess it depends on your age-job.. Multiboxing for me is a rather cheap hoppy compared to the stuff my friends are into, motorcycles, cars, golf and horses.

Even my wife doesnt complain at. To compare, the payment of my car per month would pay like for 30 subs or so.

If you are in high school or collage, then just do those thing well and do the multiboxing crazyness when you can afford it easily.

Forget the money, I can't believe how much time I spend on this game!

I agree with most guys here:
getting the hardware is one thing. I already had 3 computers when I decided to 5 box. Two of them are pretty old but wow needs so little performance they work okay. I was comtemplating buying a laptop anyways so my only real investment was getting a second laptop.
For the money I need for the accounts I could take my girlfriend to dinner about one or two times and taking one hour of a guitar/golf/whatever lesson nets more than the money I invest in a wow account in a month.
So actually it is pretty cheap.

Your SIG says you live in Moscow, so maybe CIGS do cost 1$. (See what I did there? )

Here in Michigan, USA, the average cost per pack is 5$.
http://tobaccofreekids.org/research/...s/pdf/0207.pdf it actually says $5.72, but I think that's a bit high from what I've seen.
