How can you afford it?

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...

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. ๐Ÿ™‚

Sometimes we have to search into things to unearth lies.

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