Getting bored with WoW

[zenga]

Anytime I see someone act as if paying for five WoW accounts is a lot, I chuckle. Now that I have no debt, I could pay for almost 100 WoW accounts a month and still have cash left over. It's not as much money as it seems to be, when you consider all of the other things we have to pay for.

A 100 wow accounts @ 15 a month is about 1500 euros. Many people in their 20s/30s where I live (Flanders, about 60% of Belgium - one of the top most developed areas in the world in terms of living standard, yes higher than 99% of US) get 1500 euros in their hands every month after taxes, from working 40 hours a week. Housing, insurance, energy, internet, food, clothing, transportation ... and for the amount that is left 5 wow accounts is quite a big % (if you have 250 left to spend where you want, 75 is 30%. If you live together and work with 2 that makes things different, reality however is that more and more people live on their own. This while we are (one of) the only country in the world that uses the index system (if life gets more expensive from energy / housing / .. basic needs, your default pay check will rise by the index number, paid by your boss).

My point being: saying that you chuckle when someone says that 5 wow accounts is a lot, is ignoring reality and it makes you look like a bragging dick when you use numbers like that. Someone might as well say that his porsche ain't a lot of money for him, and that he chuckles when someone tells him porsche is expensive.

*shrug* I worked my way out of poverty and debt and into a very nice and comfortable life where $75 a month for video game subscriptions is no big deal. Not sure about ignoring reality, if reality is that hard work, dedication and managing money carefully pays off. If that makes me a bragging dick, I'm pretty cool with it. Heh.
