If you are “poor” and you are “budgeting” for a mount in WoW then you could be doing it wrong, yes.
My guess would be that a lot of people getting it while saying “I’m a poor” are not actually poor and are just really out of touch. Last part kind of goes with the territory.
Yeah Myz, you know that’s not what he or I were talking about. There was no mention of WoW or the mount in the sentence I quoted.
The fact is, knowing how to budget–or how to delay gratification–has nothing to do with one’s income. And if one is truly “poor,” playing WoW at all would be a bad choice.
Couldn’t agree more.
Apologies. I read his entire post and not the clip so while I’m not certain about him, that’s fair, it’s not what you were talking about.
Poor people can budget. It’s often what helps raise people out of poverty. They’d just be much more likely to be budgeting around necessities. Perhaps fitting in a WoW sub or other forms of entertainment.
But if you’re going to eat PB&J lunches for an entire month or skip getting the brakes worked on for a brutosaur…
most people who bought it day one bought it for the memes and the mount trains.
You forgot the other option, go find a rich spouse. /s
The Bruto is gone in January. So that math ain’t mathin’.
But WoW tokens can be bought for gold and turned into Bnet balance.
from the store page
*Offer valid through January 6, 2025
so no matter how you plan to get it you have until Jan 6th (68 days counting today).
I mean i just turned my gold into bnet balance and bought it…This new bruto was cheaper than my spider mount from the mad merchant and only 500k Gold more than my 3 frog mounts. I mean i purposely save gold in this game exclusively for mounts since i don’t raid or m+ or anything so that massive expenditure is no issue for me.

Just purchase through AFFIRM and pay 30% interest over 2 years 
You lost me at step 2
If you’re not going into debt for the QoL improvements that have been locked behind paywalls, do you even care about the game?
literally paying $90 for a nerfed brutosaur 
Yes on all, but im in a good position to do so
Oh my, this thread is getting interesting
Dont worry, he’s a hunter. 90 percent of them cant even count the fingers on one hand much less make a statement that makes sense.
Or just make it a reward for being a customer.
But we also need the Mtn Dew mount
its a small pizza a week.
Id bet 99% of those who dont have the $$$ up front here can set aside 10 bucks a week till they get it together.
If the finances are tighter than that, Id say they might want to consider not spending money on video games at all, personally. I know I wouldnt.
tell us youve never had to do a budget without telling us, lol.
yeah…HUGE difference in spreading the cost out over time over taking the hit in one big slam.
because if money is that tight…they DONT HAVE 90 bucks TODAY…but they DO have TEN bucks to set aside.
jesus christ man…THIS is your beef with this?
youd have saved some credibility by NOT talking at all, lol
