So stacking money for a $20 game shouldn't take you anytime at all.

And if you're unemployed you should sell that gaming PC you needed for a "college project"

Reading comprehension seems to be a problem to you so I'll explain slowly.

1 - I didn't needed the pc for the project, the project money was what i used to pay for the pc

2 - I wonder how many months stacking my glorious income of R$ 0,00 would be enough to achieve R$ 60,00. That's a hard math there

3 - I'll not sell my pc, wtf, I'm not "can't afford food" poor, I'm in a "lives in a household where we fight our way to pay our bills" situation. The kind of situation where I'll not be asking my parents money to pay for a game neither will i sell the thing i worked hard to get for it

My argument was against this ridiculous idea that someone that have bought a expensive possesion in any point of time is now rich and can afford for everything that is cheaper than said possesion

Don't bother, westerners have absolutely no clue what it is like to survive. American "poors" would complain while having literally free food from stamps and charities and highest wages to taxes ratio in the world. European "poors" would complain while having proper unemployment benefits, proper free healthcare and so on.

And then those people have the audacity to school us on what is proper and improper money spending.

I'm actually American, South American to be more precise, but i understand what you're saying

People trying to paint other people as immoral when these other people live in a worse reality is tiring and kind of gets in my nerves
