How to know you're poor.

FruitBasketSilex

This should be pretty fun.

 

Just tell us what makes you poor. Similar to the "you know you're a redneck when...." joke

 

 

You know you're poor, when you're eating pizza off a piece of tupperware.

More like you know you're a college student when all you've had for the past four years is old ramen.

You know your poor when you can't buy all the headphones you want due to self imposed limits.

You know you are poor when your laptop has missing keys from the keyboard and it gets to 90 C melting the charger plug plastic.

And you cant afford a new one.

You know you're poor when you are lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society.

 

*is fun at parties*

I bet.

My self imposed limit being if I buy more headphones I'll need to give some away. Hence the giveaway in my sig.

Or.... I'd probably woulda nabbed a HD800 and a Denon for "testing purposes" by now.

I can't guarantee it'll be headphones next time however. It'll probably be hardware, but you'll never know.

i'm usually not participating in member giveaways anyway since there are many people who need free stuff more than i do :D

still great, no matter what you give away, if it's a 5€ game or a 100€ headphone! :)

When you have to choose between food/paying the bills and tech lol, can't have both xD.

The stars died for you to be here today.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary numbers and those who don’t
