/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

im surprisingly well prepared for a con for once in my life lmfao. i have my pass, time off from work, train ticket paid for, and room booked
still havent paid for my portion of the room or finished my cosplays yet but im pretty close
also mfw my direct deposit goes through on the first day of the con

>friends with a couple that seem to be in a really tight financial crisis every time i talk to them
>they keep talking about having to move back in with their parents bc neither work and are running low on financial aid from school
>talk about being extremely depressed due to bills and debt
>mfw i hear all this and try to be as supportive as i can and then find out they just dropped a shitton of money buying cosplay and con stuff, one of the items being ugly $100+ boots that arent even accurate for one of the costumes

i'm all for having hobbies even in trying times but fucking christ they need to grow up and prioritize their money into things that are more important. cosplay can wait, their water bill and empty fridge cant
