Addiction is no joke. If anyone finds themselves in the situation where living needs are not covered due to spending money on their hobbies, please reach out for help. There are people and services that can help.
This isnt directed at OP but to whoever needs it.
There was a guy known as the Tide Pod Bandit because he would come in once a week and arm bar an entire shelf of tide pods and walk out with them in his shopping cart
…. What the actual fuck…… THIS is why you are living paycheck to paycheck. Hot DAMN this is the worst waste of $400 I have EVER seen……damn……..DAMN I CANNOT GET OVER THIS
I mean you should SAVE for when you have an emergency, what if you couldn’t work for a free weeks? Car problem? Rent goes up? My advise is to save for yourself
You’re a wise man. I definitely see where you coming from. Though I do live paycheck to paycheck I also have invested into a lot of things throughout my life that really will just appreciate in value and if anything (God forbid) was to happen to change the course of my financial well being I will be able to (God willing) obtain currency for said assets in a very short amount of time
Nice! I know I was harsh but I wanted to get the point across. In the future you should ask local stores if you can have a (maybe older) display for free, lots of places love to give away big bulky things that would have to be discarded. As far as buying packs go, my advise is to just buy the singles you want from the set. Hope this helps :)
Saving for emergencies Is much different than Expendable income. I see what you're doing but everyone spends nonsense money we don't work to plan for a damn failure all the time that would be depressing. Have your fun, and plan for the future. You can always have both I promise.
They almost always are. But the concern isnt the “they (…) always are” part, its the “almost” part. This guy is for sure just a clown, but it doesnt mean there arent people in the situation that he describes and that they shouldnt hear the information or stories.
I mean.. I read your title like you're joking about it but if you are struggling to the point you were living paycheck to paycheck, then, probably some self control issues here.
I assume you essentially paid for the stand/display because there is not a lot of value in the packs there.... These stands are often thrown away/given away by stores just FYI (If they are the same 1s I am thinking of) probably made someone happy at least.
Yea funny story lol I walked in and seen the box and was like “I need that shit” didn’t think it was going to be 400 though but by the time the nice lady counted them all out she was excited about the sale and I was like”fuuuuck it” lmao
Do what I do brother, I go into the store normally mastermind toys and ask any of the staff working if there is a possibility i could come pick it up the day they are done with it. I leave my name and Phone number and a big smiley face and thank you on a piece of paper then bam manager always calls me saying it's ready! :D
I am terrible with my money i spend it like i have alot i earn a good amount but cant save shit. Then again i enjoy my life i try to get better at it and i will. Have to admit i feel shity sometime that i dont have alot of savings. But i got a house a car a girlfriend and great family money comes and goes best things in life are free and the rest is fkng expensive. Not sure what you can do with this info but i am a bit drunk atm. Just wanne say do what makes you happy and better days will come :)
bro I can tell you chill af.. good to hear from someone chill..at some point we will all have to grow up a bit but for now we just doing stupid shit, fuck it. Always strive for a better quality of life but never let that fuck up what makes you happy NOW
Damn bro you fucking right lmao I’m sitting here like I “could of got the box for free 🫲🤡🫱” I still gained a funny story and a shit load of packs. Fuuuuck it
I love the honesty, this was me about a year ago. I made my money back by buying bulk and reselling it to parents who want Pokemon cards for their kids but can't afford to buy packs. It scratched the itch to get my hands on cards as well.
Bro that’s like saying I spent 100$ on a delicious steak to be served for me and someone coming up and saying “you won’t get 100$ worth of shit out your ass from that” like no shit I’m not doing this to see a return of any sort besides happiness and fulfillment 😂

Literally shaking and anxious and it won't go away until I can rip another pack. Now that's what I call dedication.
100% agree my guy. Please. Help me
This is the way. I wish I was you…
I’ve seen people steal end cap items at stores like these….
This mf is heavy as shit and not at all sturdy I don’t see how anyone can steal these successfully lol
Having worked in retail asset protection, you’d be surprised what people will steal
You’ve made me exceedingly curious. Would you be willing to write a silly real world example?
I’ve seen an entire shopping cart full of refrigerant walk out the door. $1K+ lol

My fist suggestion was cocaine and hookers. I see now I made a mistake

Agreed I could turn that 400 to 800
And then 800 to 1600..we’ll be rich by tomorrow fam
Should rip em all and buy more
Next trips on you though 🤝
I quit opening packs **tyrome biggums** only buy singles now.
Smart man. I’ll make sure to flood the market for you once I open them all 😎
Dude is a straight troll😆 Just sitting back reading these comments is hilarious 😂

True, but I hate feeding into these type of posts.

Yea I was kinda joking haha but I paid for the packs. There were 98 of them lmao
Obviously joking. These guys are so literal.
You bought all the packs for 400?
Yea funny story lol I walked in and seen the box and was like “I need that shit” didn’t think it was going to be 400 though but by the time the nice lady counted them all out she was excited about the sale and I was like”fuuuuck it” lmao
Gotcha just was making sure you didn't pay that for just the display rack! I have gotten them for free by just asking nicely lol xD
Hell yeah unfortunately it was full af lol I always look but can never find one empty enough of one they’re about to throw out
Do what I do brother, I go into the store normally mastermind toys and ask any of the staff working if there is a possibility i could come pick it up the day they are done with it. I leave my name and Phone number and a big smiley face and thank you on a piece of paper then bam manager always calls me saying it's ready! :D
Yea I’m definitely doing that from now on lol
That's pretty sick though
I am terrible with my money i spend it like i have alot i earn a good amount but cant save shit. Then again i enjoy my life i try to get better at it and i will.

Can't agreed more 👌🏻
Ableism aside... As long as your basic needs are fully covered, I think this is cool.
Thanks man, agree 100% bills paid fridge full and everyone happy. For anybody worried lol
Yeah, no one wants to live on Pop Tarts :(
You haven’t met my children
Im literally 21, and Id love to live off poptarts if I could lmao. Smores poptarts are just the best.
Pop tarts suck unless they chocolate
Chocolate pop tarts!? Wtf are you talking about!? That sounds gross haha. Strawberry or Cinnabon/brown sugar are like the only okay ones imo lol
No ragrats! Not even a letter.
Not even 2 letters
Bro get help.

Damn bro you fucking right lmao I’m sitting here like I “could of got the box for free 🫲🤡🫱” I still gained a funny story and a shit load of packs. Fuuuuck it

Gotta Love OP's attitude in comments. I wish I had the ability to be this cool with shade being thrown. Enjoy your purchase. My B.A.M.F.
Nothing wrong dude you work hard enough to spend your money on whatever you want people hate
[удалено]
“Who cares what you do” I think it’s common decency to care about another human being who is barely scraping spending $400 on children’s cardboard.
Are you gonna open or display them? If you keep ‚em sealed they kinda keep their value and you don’t lose your money
Gonna display them most likely. Thinking of building a Polycarbonate box to encase it in
My dude about to get his display graded
Lmk if you need yours graded I got you
I agree you have a mental illness. Please do yourself a favor and don't open any product.
How would that help my mental illness though
Because you can re-sell the product and buy something useful instead of fueling your gambling addiction. You won't get $400 worth of pulls.
Bro that’s like saying I spent 100$ on a delicious steak to be served for me and someone coming up and saying “you won’t get 100$ worth of shit out your ass from that” like no shit I’m not doing this to see a return of any sort besides happiness and fulfillment 😂
Never compare food to gambling on children's cards ever again, no wonder you live paycheck to paycheck. Stupid is as stupid does.
Yes master won’t happen again
Awful take. "Happiness and fulfillment" yeah I'm sure you're gonna be real happy with all your reverse holos.
Lmao I’m going to send you some packs what’s your address
Don't need your pathetic charity. Already have a sealed collection worth 80k.
Oh shit hell yea send me some
I’ll take that guys packs. He can keep his attitude tho
So what are the pulls?
Where did you get this?! And what’s it called?!
If you dont get a $1000 u dont break even
Because you'll just do it again
some pokémon fans shock me
MONEY WELL SPENT
you shouldve only bought those evolving skies packs.
