I'm good with whatever you come up with.

Oh you and your obsession with political things. :P

How about the average person?

Almost every new game I download lately has things to purchase. Sometimes they'll lock the game for an hour, but you can instantly resume the game if you purchase credits. I refuse to pay for anything on a stupid cell phone game. :banghead:
 
In my opinion people can spend their money on whatever they want to spend it on, but they still spend money on stupid and sometimes useless things.
 
The saying of "one man's trash is another's treasure" applies here. What may seem like a waste of money to you, will be worth it to someone else.

Things they really cannot afford but they buy them anyway to 'keep up with the Joneses'.

Well that`s a point.
 
The fad of "Keeping Up With The Jones's" when it comes to having to have the latest Smart Phone on the market every few months, loaded with apps they're never going to use, or even realise they're there., let alone what they're meant to do.

I want the latest phones for the improved performance, not to be cool. :P
