How much did you spend to create your forum?

[Nebulous]

NOT when it can be sold then they can get a cheaper phone and be left with enough for their hardship reason. If they're in extreme hardship as they say they are.

Right, poor people aren't allowed to have nice things.

Also poor people have loved ones and family members. Their fancy iphone or nice clothes could have been a present. 🎁

I've seen people on welfare with a brand new $1400 iphone before. If you really want something you can move your money around and prioritize things to make it happen. For example if you ate nothing but top ramen and didn't eat out or have any fast food then you could throw more money at a forum.

Not eating out is my kryptonite. But, I understand where you're coming from.

You'd spend a lot less money if you just went grocery shopping and made meals at home

But you wouldn't do that every night? So it's not that bad.

I'm trying to force myself into more of that habit, but it's tough when you've eaten out almost your whole adulthood.

Wouldn't do what every night?

Just count the costs for a week of eating out.

Then only eat at home for week and count that cost.

That's what made me change.

And also back when I went out all the time, it seemed like you got better quality food and more in a serving.

Nowadays, it seems like the prices went up and quality and serving quantity went down.

They blame supply chain.

We still go out. We just choose Mom and Pop places because you get a better meal.

But we try to cook at home more times a week than go out.

Yup, so crazy nowadays! As much as eating at a sit down restaurant when/if you want fast food. McDonald's and so many others got more expensive. One thing that I was told and suggested by the editor on a food blog I wrote for is to focus on articles on cooking at home etc. That was a big one during the pandemic that'd get you views and all.

Over the years? Hmm......probably close to $1,000-$1,500 total.

Was it worth it?

 

[Shawn Gossman]

I typically spend even more throughout the year.

I'll buy addons and try them out. I might buy some graphic design services.

I'll spend some money for contest prizes, too.

Well as long as you have fun with your forum project then thats all that matters.

About $20/month for the server, and that's it. MyBB has worked out great for us, we've been able to customize it quite a bit over the years.
