BF2S Forums How much do you get paid?

To be honest, if you're earning a proper salary (over 25,000/year) you shouldn't be on BF2s, or anything similar. Give your good job to somebody that will live life to the fullest please.

okay - if i'm hitting twice that can i come back?

seriously - i first came to bf2s to check stats, because i played a video game.

i stayed because i liked the forum.

i'm leaving tonight to go to Las Vegas, to throw away more hard earned money, why?

because i can.

Coming home after making like 600 euro a day and then spending your evening gaming just doesn't add up.

I know if I had the money you lot would never see me here again? Jesus, you could go travel the world, marry your girlfriend, buy a house together, make some babies, start a business...

Anything, anything but gaming.

I have a family.  I work 40+ hours per week.  I bring in a lot more than 25,000+ per year.  We go out and do things like that.  However, the crux of the situation is that I still have to work.  I can't just randomly take off to to some place because I have the money to.  That doesn't make much sense.  I game when I get off of work because I want to and enjoy games.  Not blowing my money on random vacation spots doesn't mean I am "wasting my life".  When you get responsibilities, you will understand that.

Below average for my position. Taxes, pension payments, union payments, healthcare payments take 37% off my gross income. So what's left is just enough. But isn't it always? Regardless of income, you always manage to spend it all.

Well at least you'll get a good retirement package. Right?

Nah. It'll hopefully be about 60% of my average income if I work until I'm 66 or something + the 150 € I put aside monthly in funds, which will add up to a few hundred thousand, I guess? The catch is, I can't get the private pension fund money out before I'm 60 something. Or if unemployed for more than 200 days straight.

Taking into account the general age demographics in 2040's,  I probably can't retire before I'm 70. Also, considering inflation, my pension will suck ass. Hence the fund; gotta think ahead.

Why do people refuse to tell their income? I'm the same, there's something that doesn't make me want to share that information.

Haha. You're taking the piss.

It just doesn't make any sense to me. If my dad came home (a 46 y/o school teacher) said hi, ate his dinner and then went up and played video games for the evening we (my family) wouldn't know what to do with him, I'd probably think he's mentally ill or something.

mentally ill.

Playing games as an adult does not mean you play every waking moment.

"Taking the piss" : nothing clever or intelligent about any points you are making, honestly

I really didn't mean any offense on anybodys behalf. I'm just speaking my opinion (which would probably be the same as 98% of the population of Earth...) that I don't think it's right (and even moral) for professional people with responsibilities to be playing video games. AgainL if you have the money to live your life, whats stopping you? Why are you still here on BF2s?

I don't get it?

I'm always looking for new ways to move forward in life, achieve this and that... And I know if I landed a job with a good yearly salary gaming would be the last thing on my mind.

But thats just me

I dunno.  It's akin to telling your social security number or something....not sure why though.

what the fuck Irish.


It's morally wrong to play video games and spend time on a forum if your wealthy? What kind of reasoning do you have behind that?


What's the maximum income I can have before I need to stop visiting BF2s?


And what the fuck makes you think people with wealth do something of importance every single minute of every single day?


God.

Maybe.  However, there is a hint of naivete with this thought process.

Irish, "Your an idiot".


I made $15/hr doing manuel labor. Dragging limbs, digging up cactus, general landscaping, etc. Currently unemployed though and that job is out the window.

You're*

And I was just expressing my honest opinion.

It's what I believe and I didn't mean anybody to be offended.

well your honest opinion is likely to change if you ever make that kind of money.

Well you wouldn't know. I wouldn't be hanging around gaming forums.
