Do games make you spend money faster than real life?

After dropping 300 bucks in two days on csgo skins, I was wondering. Do you guys buy stuff faster online (since it's easy and whatnot) than in real life?

I can't really compare since I still live at home and don't have that much expenses but got money to burn. Enlighten me, Pox community! Just curious.

 

I remember when I was in high school, I would buy a box of Magic The Gathering booster packs every time a new expansion released. At the time I was working at Dairy Queen, and I had no expenses. I didn't yet have a car or a girlfriend, and I rode my bike to work. Now I hardly ever spend money on games, unless I get gift cards or cash as a present. Otherwise there's always something higher priority to spend money on.

That said, psychologists have found that people will overspend with credit/debit compared to cash. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/retail-therapy/201306/why-we-overspend-credit

 

Yes, but I noticed and am cutting down.

 

Joke's on you, I got no money to spend whatsoever... ahahaha... ha... ha

 

I only spend my money on League and sometimes Pox... And chocolate.

 

Yup.

Same.

I feel ya.

My Debit Card feels ya. 3 Figures, to no figures....


My biggest issue is F2P games. Though I haven't spent a dime on pox in years.

 

i spend money on neither

 

life decisions

they're hard

 

i have a lotta cash

it's really annoying actually, i can't do anything with all these DOLLARS

 

you mean make money to spend ?

 

I haven't spent money in the real world for a very long time.

 

I spend money on Pox, because I have a problem, but otherwise, 90+% of the rest of my money goes to real-world things. Like, you know, totally not drugs or anything.

 

If you don't spend it, why don't give it to me

I'd treat it better

 

If you have money

you might s well spend it and have fun

 

come visit the US, we'll talk

 

I'm in the US, where my monies?
