Resynchronized 08/11/18 12:21:48 AM #14:	I don't understand this topic. What you spend is completely related to what you earn. Adjust your perspective and this isn't worth a topic. I went to school for years and now I have a good job with a decent income. My partner too. Sometimes I spend more than 100 dollars a month on comics. Sometimes less.

NightMareBunny posted... they said 100 bucks a month on comics is easy for anyone with a decent job and anyone who disagrees is either unemployed a student or a fast food employee If you have very little expenses or expenses that are easily covered $100 a month isn't much. Granted $100 a month can be a lot if you say... are making car payments, and a mortgage, along with other utilities. That $100 could be better spent elsewhere. I mean you could be a NEET on welfare and in a section 8 housing unit and $500 a month could go to comics/video games/figurines.

I mean you could be a NEET on welfare and in a section 8 housing unit and $500 a month could go to comics/video games/figurines. Meanwhile you could own a car and a home and work a decent job but only spare $100 for entertainment a month. God bless America! NightMareBunny posted... and i guess that's what shocked me on the comics board is that most of them came off as they had no bills or very little expenses to consider They obviously have bills, but they also have income. And when your income greatly exceeds your bills, you have money left over. Shouldn't be shocking to anybody who's had a job and personal responsibilities. Golden Road posted... Either that's a whole lotta' comic books, or inflation hit comics really hard. The cover price is pretty insane these days. Not sure how much better subscriptions are. Granted, I guess inflation is an issue, too. If you go way back, in 1960 a McDonald's hamburger was 15-cents and a comic book was 10-cents. Nowadays that same hamburger is a dollar and the cover price for comics is like three or four dollars. In the past almost 60 years, comics have gone from being worth 66% of a McDonald's hamburger to 300-400% of a McDonald's hamburger... and both have half the meat >_> Golden Road posted...

Your personal income can certainly factor into whether you see sufficient value in something. If I bought something on a whim, it's because I wanted the it and could easily afford it. If I couldn't easily afford it, I'd have to want it a lot more. The object itself is the same, but the perceived value has changed. As for what is or isn't wasting money, any non-essential -- and even upgraded versions of essential items -- could be argued as being wasteful because you strictly don't need them.
