The math isn't working out here. Figuring about 20 hours a week, four weeks a month, $8/hour, that's a gross of $640. Chop off 15% for taxes, now we're at $540. Let's add in gas money, that's $20 a week (I'm assuming you don't drive 30 mins to/from work), so now we're down to $460. Which means at $400 a week for games you have barely any spending money for hanging out with friends.Snickerd00dle wrote:because im still in highschool, prolly like 400 a month

Re: how much do you spend on your gaming addiction a month?
i'd estimate that I spend an average of about $60/month on buying video games...
i usually stop by gamestop every couple of weeks, and usually end up buying something half the time...
i go to gamestop since I'm too poor to buy brand-new games, so my $60 usually gets me at least 3 or 4 games...

I'll usually only spend around $30 a month. I try to limit my spending to only a few hobby related purchases at a time.

Re: how much do you spend on your gaming addiction a month?
Back when the DC was being ushered out I passed up many great bargains. I have regretted it since. So now that the PS2 is on its way out I have started scooping up anything worthwhile in the bargain bins anytime I walk into a gamestop or other game chain. I end up spending around $50 or less on games a month this way.

Re: how much do you spend on your gaming addiction a month?
I would have to say over the past 3 months I have spent on Neo stuff alone around $2700.
But usually its only around 150 to 200 a month.
