How can you afford it?

[how.about.another.slice]

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...

You're dyslexic so how would you know?

Assumption is the mother of all stuff-ups, LTL. what part of "looks like" did you not understand?

Exactly, joz, laptops have been used almost as long as any home computers. I remember them in the late 1980.s Am*3 is simply doing her best to argue every point in the hope it will wear me down but all it does is bore others. 🙂
