Guarantee it's just me but I feel this place does this subtly all the time and people don't realise they're doing it either.

Any time there are threads asking how much you're willing to shell out for a new (insert upcoming thing) you have a majority voting on the higher end of the scale. Pick up threads are filled with high end shit which can be cool to see but it blows my mind that some people are able to treat themselves almost daily in some cases.

There are folks even mentioning they pay for people to clean their homes weekly and everyone acted like this was normal and not a big deal. Salaries get tossed around almost triple or quadruple my own and others I know and they still complain it's not enough. Even holidays/trips with huge budgets like it's nothing. Don't even get me started on that ungrateful person who went to Disneyland with their family and complained about the whole thing.

It's like another world sometimes. I get gaming as a hobby comes at a cost but I just get the impression I'm getting priced out of almost everything now.

I'm requesting this be closed now. Some great discussion to begin with and now some people are getting personal and taking it personally.

It was a great pity party while it lasted, but then the affluent had to ruin it...

This is why we need communism.
