NES WORLD Forum - Genuine Question

kungfukid Full Member Offline NES v SMS - maybe robot wars style?? Posts: 122 Paisley, Scotland Gender:	Genuine Question 17. Aug 2006 at 23:12 Ok, I have to ask this. What the hell do some of you guys do that you can afford to spend such huge amounts on such a regular basis on NES stuff? Some of the prices stuff goes for on so many games, accessories and rare items is not exactly cheap, and yet some of you guys just spend it! I'd love to spend as much, but I simply couldn't afford to!

My other hobby is modding / racing my mustang, now that gets real expensive ! I have $17000 invested so far and I am just begining. Some of my friends are well over $100,000 and they are not "rich" by any means. If its something you enjoy you just have to budget and work for it.

RE: The modding mustangs. I'm sorry, but you can't possibly afford to invest over $100K in a car unless you are extremely well off! lol! Unless you have several loans to cover it! NOBODY has a spare £100K lying around unless they are 'rich' as such to spend in one go. Even if that investment was over a five year period, it's still nearly $2000 a month EVERY month that whole time! You could only 'budget' that amount of money as spare if you're earning a minimum of $5000 a month ($60k a year), that's well off in my book! lol. And if that aint well off in your book - well you must have even more than that!!! Any jobs going? I fancy a move to the states! Cheesy

Aug 2006 at 12:53 Yeah, I haven't spent any more than £15 on any one game yet (around $25), and I don't intend to until I've exhausted all the games I can get in that price range! Then I dunno what I'll do, save up for the more expensive one I guess!
