I am not going to follow much from my previous blog. I am still going to take a leave from GBAtemp but I just wanted some opinions on what I should do about a specific matter.
My family is dirt poor and my brother has a painting business which unfortunately shut down a while back. However luckily we got a job this month that we should be able to finish by 2 weeks. He took 345 bucks I had saved up a while back and so to be honest we had no workers so me my brother and our dad went to paint a little. I discussed with my brother and he agreed to pay me somewhat. I am definitely getting paid officially as in hourly pay so I am happy I am getting back the money he took and more. Plus my birthday was just yesterday.
Anyways thats all well but like I said we aren't too well and I have wanted a 3DS for so long. The money I saved up was intended for that. However it seems to me I need to realize what I am doing here. I will be guilty if I buy the 3DS with the money I get for helping my brother out. Why? Well there are expenses and more things to take into account. For example more workers. We hired 2 more workers which will start tomorrow and they want high hourly pays. This matters a lot. It does because we aren't getting much so our profit can go as low as 300 bucks. Which is depressing. But money is money and nowadays the freaking paper means everything to everybody. I remember the days when it didn't but oh well.
My brother told me I can do anything with the money once I get it however I just feel conflicted. Should I do the childish thing and buy a 3DS? I am 19 now I am not getting younger... Or use the money to start a bank account for myself and use the money for application fees to colleges I have failed to pay for because of how tight on money my family is.
I have always spent money on games to be honest since I was introduced very young as a kid. However I learned of flashcarts just 4 years ago... before that I spent 30 bucks on retails once every 2-3 months. Generally I feel bad but I don't know.
I just wanted some advice from people who might be going through the same thing with tight pockets or horrible situations. I am still trying to find my way out of the current issues I am going through myself and I am trying to do right here.
Anyways Happy Holidays everybody.
