Anyone find it impossible to consuum? I have wanted a ps5 and a new Python gun for over a year now. I check the websites all the time. Both these would cost me about 2k and would set me back one month of savings. That’s nothing but I still can’t do it. Must make number go up in account
Either get better saving habits or get a better paying job
My net pay is 1850 bi weekly. That’s after putting away 10 percent in Roth. I have been saving 1k of my take home every two weeks. I don’t make a ton but I have a pretty high savings rate, it get addictive to save more.
We make about the same, but I make about 1k less per month. Rent and utilities is just over 50% of my income, but even I'm able to throw a few hundred each month at stuff I don't need.
I'd imagine you have some expenses I don't, like monthly payments for a car or something. Hopefully you're able to set something aside and eventually get the stuff you want though.
I have the cash I just want financial freedom more. I want to own a house and land. What annoys me is I know saving 2k a month this is still so far away. Even knowing that wasting 2k would kill me and make me feel like I’m hurting myself for “stuff”. Currently I have 25k in a hysa and 3k in my checking at all times. Everything else is thrown at investments.
I'd say you're doing fine. I want a house and land too, but I don't think I'll ever get it unless I change jobs.
But don't let occasional spending on things you like get to your head. Life's meant to be enjoyed. As long as you're still saving a reasonable portion of your funds, it's fine. It doesn't seem like you're the type to blow hoards of money on eating out/doordash/strip clubs/onlyfans. It's fine to make the occasional purchase on something material that you enjoy.
Why would you want a new gaymen console?
There hasn't been a single good game released in over a decade.

>wanting a net python gun.
You have good taste anon
I have checked the website everyday and it shows up for a few weeks then gets sold out. I have been checking for months on sportsman warehouse. It’s in stock right now and it looks like they stocked up on them. Fuck it’s sexy but it’s such a stupid purchase. I don’t need it at all and want to save money.
I don’t really play games much so it’s much easier to say no to these. When I do play games I hate having the ps4, it could barely play elden ring which is the last game I beat
I share these exact same two hobbies. I have a PS5 and can tell you its not worth it. the loading times are nice but there's literally no games for it. Demon Souls is not worth the purchase of the entire console as fun as it is. The Python will not be nearly as nice as the ones made in the 70s, this is well reported. They're nice for sure. But not as nice as the originals. You're honestly better off buying an original if number go up is your concern because they are collectables at this point.
I find myself in a similar situation that I'm consooming less, stacking more and it feels good. You dont want to backslide now. its like going back to porn after kicking a habit. consooming is just as bad. If not worse.
the best advice i can give you is go deeper into the stuff you already have, versus wider and accumulating what you dont
Don't buy a PS5, anon. You're better off getting a new PC.
I have a ps5 and never use it. Games are so shit these days anon and they're a waste of time. Buy the gun, secure yourself. Ditch the gaystation for something more soulfully entertaining.
>must make number go up
The more I save the more I feel this way. This is the wei
Literally fate doing you a favor instead of you reaction buying a gun from a company that's filed chapter 11 2 times since producing the original and trying to capitalize on name/reputation. Do yourself a favor and buy a model 19 if you can't afford an original snake gun.
The standard opinion are the new guns are better then the old ones because of technology. The only people mad are boomers afraid of losing value. I think the gun is a piece of art, I still want it
The only people who believe that are coping boomers who missed out the first time, regurgitating paid Leviathan Group shill reviews.
We will ask the experts
>Anyone find it impossible to consuum?
Yeah, I have Cyberpunk 2077 and I can't even be bothered to play it because I know I won't enjoy it.
Vidya nowadays are either:
> a variety of online fps for adhd kids that will trickshot you and leave you feeling angry
> 50% faggy cinematics
> handholding you to the point that you feel patronised
> Autistically complicated to the point where you have to study the game and sinks dozens of hours in before you start having fun
I just stick the pic related classics these days, the perfect balance imo.

games used to have soul, age of mythology was an amazing game, walllords battle cry 2
try this one I know i've posted it in 2 forums today I'm not a shill it's a cool game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gkB2DjHZu8
I still can't bring myself to spend $1500 for a new LG C2 Oled 65' even though it's the only thing I'd spend my money on really.
I made 10k last weekend with a shitcoin investment in a coin called peepo. I was saving up to buy a ps5 and maybe a decent PC and now that i have the money i just... can't do it. I want to see the numbers grow but i don't like spending it bros
Be grateful for your low time-preference, dear anon. The normies that consume now, have less of a bright future later.
