Getting Allowance

Such a horrid time. My money I'd spend on things were accumulated from birthday and christmas gifts. We're talkin' about buying maybe one game a year ($60 games holla /__\). Got nice when I got to late high school and could get a job. And I've been juggling several at a time ever since. No allowance, even now.

Exact same way with me. I would get games at my birthday and Christmas (two games in two months? TWO MUCH LOL) and then maybe elsewhere during the year if I really wanted it. I pretty much got whatever I asked for, but I knew that would last insofar as I never asked for too much too often. That amounted to about two games a year, if I was lucky. ;_;

So now I have a job and money, and I'll buy a game if I see it and like it. I'm not as stingy as I thought I'd be -- or, rather, used to be -- now that I have a fairly steady flow of money.

But thank God my parents are paying for college. I'm working two jobs this summer and it would barely be enough to get me through one quarter of school. ;____; So, you know, I think not having an allowance really didn't scar me very much.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
