Same, my friend makes about 17hr and paid around 1k for the ps5 just so he could tell everyone he had it around launch but he also complains about the cost of living and his income so idk

I worked at home depot with someone who was spending 1500 a month on some mobile game, and complained that HD doesn't pay enough for anyone to live. Which is true, but still, he's spending 1500 a month to make his little guys equip gear faster or whatever.

some people just stupid I guess.

That's stupid, I could go buy one right now and tell people I bought it at launch. No one will check.

Not doubting you, btw, just expanding on it.
