How the heck are you guys affording your games at $60 bucks a pop + tip + DLC?

If you cant afford games you shouldnt be playing games.

Put down the joy stick and get a real job.

Games cost $100 in my country, some companies even charge $130 if they think they can get away with it.

>affording games
>buying games

>Buying games at launch
I only needed to spend $20 on DOOM 2016.

I pirate things. I've considered stealing physical copies just to make people like you seethe too.

stop it with the random facebook capitalization.

Kek this

Australia for the win, we so much shit wrong but its STILL better than living in the US, or even worse, Britain.

I haven't bought a game over $30 in the past five years. In total, I have spent maybe $400, tops, on video games in that same timeframe.
It isn't hard to just not spend money desu, but I get it

No you don't. You'd probably just be an overworked salaryman if you were born there, you'd have money, but no time.

I was born in a village in a third world country yet i don't live paycheck to paycheck in America

How are native born americans so bad at living here?

I buy games during the dank steam sales. What kind of cuck buys games at full price?

If you dont have 800k in cash you are a minority imo. Steal bikes, food, women. I dont care. I jist sit back and laugh at how pathetic you are. Stealing games lol. Like a child

I'm a white piggu living in east asia and making a good salary. My rent is only like $150 too.

seething. I haven't even stolen anything.

There are only like one or two good games released every year. Even if you buy them at launch, that's only 120 burger bucks.

The problem is a lot of Americans spend money on frivolous bullshit like buying every new iPhone despite not having any savings

I work as a truck driver making 27$ hr. It's not hard to get a non-shit job.

which asian country? curious

I don't buy games that often
I still got a backlog of shit to play already
I'm saving up for a house
I get nice benefits. Full health, dental, vision, 401k/pension.

I suppose I could run out and buy Devil May Cry 5 if I really wanted. I've been buying comics lately.

Are you Owner Op? I doubt you're making that much on hourly, I mean I was clearing 90-120k a year OTR but that was working 15-18 hours a day for a month at a time before the EDL came and fucked the game up.

I honestly don't make that much money, but if there is a game I want to buy I just save up and get it.
It's not that hard.

Not true. Even with self-driving trucks, they can only go so far without daily checkups. Even if you don't need to drive it anymore, you still need someone in the vehicle.

This. 30% of my paycheck goes into savings, I match my 401k, and 15% goes towards buying stock. I feel like right now I can just afford to fuck around and have 12 dollars until my next paycheck. Next year or two years from now that might be a different story, but I'm allowed to buy tons of shit if I wanna right now.

You guys seem to be doing it right in a lot of places. The only real criticisms ive seen of living in Australia is the summer heats. Even insects don't seem as large a problem as made out to be since with a 30~ million population, it's still rare to hear of health issues cause by them

Not him but what kind of truck driver? By that I mean what's your commute like? I couldn't stand driving prolonged periods
What's the easiest way to fall into debt, and the best ways to avoid it?

why do they have so many school shootings anyway

Afghanistan

too many boobs in video games

right but 90% of the work is going to be gone. i mean you realize that demand for trucking isn't going to spike as you're all replaced, right?

American here no one tips like this or EVERYONE would be a pizza delivery driver or waiter making mad cash. In both cases you're lucky if you get a "keep the change" at all

I never tip, unless someone gave me fucking amazing service, then I'll give them like $5, because it's not my responsibility to make sure you get paid

The chart looks hyperbolic. I tip 10-15% at restaurants and maybe give the cabbie or pizza guy 5 bucks extra if I have it.

Consumerist society and a herd mentality are a dangerous combination.

American here, I hate tipping. Yeah call me a piece of shit, but I hate the culture we've set up. Look if I have a great server, then yeah, I'll leave something. But I shouldn't be guilt tripped into paying extra just because a waitress doesn't get the salary she deserves. I want the prices listed on the menu.

American society is finally starting to break down. DOTR soon.

Most people live paycheck to paycheck because they spend uncontrollably.

Because no gun control, because "muh second amendment"
If you allow mentally ill people have guns you get the shootings

Unless you're working for someone like Saia or XPO you're going to be doing long haul driving, and even then you don't want to be working for short haul or LTL until you have 3-5 years of experience. Some of the backs and routes city drivers have are total bullshit. But if you are interested now is the most driver friendly market I think it's ever been. ELD's fucked the companies and none of them can force you to do the bullshit that they used to-like doing two to five different logs-, and if you're not a moron you don't even need to worry about snow anymore, with such a fierce driver shortage no one forces you to drive through blizzards and shit.

Nah nigga I wanna be dumb and homeless later.

Hey look I found the retard who's never been around guns before. Newsflash: these types of unstable people don't buy guns, they either steal them or obtain them illegally.

what the fugg is wrong with burgers

Americans spend money on retarded shit all the time, I think it's because no one ever teaches their kids about the idea of personal responsibility anymore

Brazil has gun control and virtually no shootings. I wish i could move there.

Here comes the republican'ts everyone to defend muh guns

They just happen on the streets instead of schools, cabron.

Bullies cause people to breakdown and isolate. Isolation causes mental issues. Add to that a country with easy access to guns and you have a school shooting. Liberals of course think banning firearms will solve the problem, instead of looking deeper into the issue and caring about mental health of teenagers. But you can't expect that from the people who play along with mentally ill people's delusions.

Jesus lmao.
That's sad but funny at the same time.

It's really not that bad, you only ever hear about the absolute worst of it

This is how I bought RE 2 remake and Sekiro.

I make 3800 a month and 1600 of that goes straight into savings. And that's not counting the 4% contribution to my 401k for that sweet, sweet matching

I also don't have any debt. I genuinely dont understand how people end up with thousands in credit card debt and auto loans. Even when I was a teen with no financial education I figured you should treat credit cards like debit cards and only spend money you have

Most of the school shooters legally owned their weapons tho

>muh bullies

found the beta cuck lmfao

Wasn't there just a school shooting in Brazil?

American's make it sound worse than it is because they're entitled faggots. They're really the only people on the planet that can live in near utopia and complain.

retarded amounts of debt, young people with depression, and mass shootings happen in other countries so that makes it completely okay for it to happen in America too

Gun control doesn't work, faggot, it's nigger gangbangers and medicated crazies. Vermont has more guns than people, and yet gun crime is extremely low because of the lack of nigger gangbangers and crazies.

As dumb as it looks this is a legitimate answer to a recurring problem.

>paying less tax than amerifats
Why would you lie on a chinese shill forum?

The majority of jobs are just shit. Bad hours, don't pay shit and have shit for benefits. The reason most people here live paycheck to paycheck is because almost half of peoples paycheck goes to fucking rent, which is why you hear about so many millenials living with their parents. Renting just isn't affordable.

did you even read the post I wrote about swizterland dude?
do i need to post with sarcasm tags?

because games and game related things ARE part of my paycheck, you rich pleb

If you're not going to keep the games then you might as well pirate. Like why even waste the money at that point

I'd say you make a purchase everyday and "tipping culture" and exact cent return sounds like unecessary bullshit
if something is $4,99 here I just give $5 to the cashier and that's it.
>Wasn't there just a school shooting in Brazil?
yeah but even then, they very rarely happen
for comparison, military high schools have guns stocked on them for formation and ceremony purposes yet shootings don't happen on them. It's really just on random areas

Because waitresses don't want to remove it, because depending on the place they work they make way more than every other minimum wage job. Throw in a good weekend or holiday and shit becomes an absurd amount in comparison to a degree job.

Everytime it gets brought up, waitresses band together bitch and moan about $2/h and tips are needed and shit gets pushed to the side. Once tipping your waitress is gone then everything else would eventually follow suite, but that is never going to happen.

Why do conservatives simultaneously want people to work but also think it's cool if they don't get paid a wage? I remember /pol/ being super happy about workers not being paid.

Bruh USA and Brazil are the top 2 countries where gun violence occurs

>UNTIL YOU'RE 60 LMAO

I fell for the college meme and it landed me a pretty solid job with good pay

America's gun violence statistics are skewed, because the people compiling that shit always include suicides in it, and suicides make up around 2/3 of gun deaths

Healthcare and higher education costs are the main reason

This is a bullshit conservative cop out answer. People in the US are paid shit and their government covers nothing for them. People aren't going out buying new cars and going broke from that. They can't even afford a new car let alone a new phone.

Conservative leaders are rich elites who want to pay less
Conservative voters are poor numskulls who think their honest wage will make them a millionaire if they work hard enough.
The former is for the latter and the latter is what the former wants.

The noblest goal anyone can have is try their best to be a pleasant person around, and even if you can't please everyone, you should at least try to be a good person, at least that's my take on life, since everything's so shitty everyone is having a bad time all the time anyways.

This. Bullying isn't what it used to be, it's never direct physical/verbal assault anymore but it's some kind of weird convoluted method of singling people out and isolating them from a group by constantly bringing up their quirks and "jokingly" ragging on them in the guise of friendship.
"It's just a joke, bro."

This is false.

Most people overspend and choose to save nothing. We've had this issue for years now which is why the slightest hiccup in the economy puts people into dire straits.

Good fucking Christ does he look bad. Life has not been kind.

>What's the easiest way to fall into debt,
Buying shit you can't afford.
Monthly expenses.

>and the best ways to avoid it?
Don't buy shit you can't afford. Live way under your means, question if you really truly need things you take for granted. Don't spend extra money just because it's extra right now.

I think he meant the shootings themselves, but he got the answer, gun violence is ingrained in your brains you were incapable of understading the question.

Also, guns are for weak faggots.

You can't convince people to do this. It's just not possible. I've tried it, and I'm certain now that people who have been perpetually poor their entire lives or ever since they became an adult and stopped living with their parents, have some kind of brain damage. They are simply unable to be frugal with their money. If you tell them that they don't need a new smart phone with an expensive contract and costly data plan, that they don't need the highest speed internet available, that they don't need a giant TV, that they don't need to be eating out for every meal, that they don't need to be buying booze and cigarettes and pot, etc, they will get mad at you.

These people actually think they're entitled to entertainment and luxury when they can't even pay their own bills. Then as they bitch about being broke constantly and you tell them to stop wasting money on things they don't need they act like you're their personal dictator trying to put them into an internment camp or something. It's insane. They have 0 money, they're behind on bills, they struggle to afford rent, they're in debt up to their eyeballs, and if you tell them maybe they should save money instead of spending it on useless entertainment you're the lunatic that's wrong.

These are also the same kind of people that are constantly racking up late fees on bills and overdraft fees on their bank, which isn't just a cause of their perpetual poverty but a symptom of their inability to not throw money at some fleeting shallow happiness like a big dinner at a restaurant or expensive movie tickets with snacks and popcorn. You just can't do it. You can't teach poor people to save money.
