How can you afford it?

how.about.another.slice — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 09:49:10 GMT

After being away several months, I notice many of the same faces are still spending all day posting, despite their assurances that they work. One even spent a whole day waiting until 5.30 pm before posting just to prove she is employed!!! (only people unemployed or on benefits for years would assume the average work day is still from Nine-to-Five LOL!)

My question is, how do you afford to be here so much? Do you live off savings, an inheritance, divorce settlement, or do you simply chat from a library or a second hand notebook on limited internet usage?

To get a decent computer costs at least $2000 and without good internet connection, chatting on a forum isn't even worth it, so are these regulars going into debt over the boards? Would a bank even loan or credit them enough to supplement their activites and time usage here?

It's all very puzzling...

Unusual hobby you have (bothering to note that much detail about other posters) a bit creepy and obsessive really.

I have a laptop, netbook, smart phone, that I can post from. None of those cost anywhere near $2000...what decade are you living in?

I pretend to work, but live on Govt benefits.

Way to go Crystal!!! I don't think the OP factored that into her/his choices...that is any sort of partner that has paid work out side the home and one that doesn't

$10 p.w. for internet connection.. do you have to be rich to afford that? Cheaper than a pack of cigarettes I guess?

Eeek! I just posted a similar theory to poddy's on the smart thread. I think I am spending too much time here.

I've been on LSL. 🙂

Why would anyone need a $2000 computer to post on a forum? LOL LOL LOL.

They are living in the early 2000's I think.. not many people pay $2000 for computer/laptop these days.

They must have got bored with their quiche id. And their toowoomba tart id, and their baby.jane.begins id, and the curse of pretoria id, and the id's that are too vulgar to repeat.
