How many of you are poorfags?

The only reason I got into the weeaboo lifestyle was because it's cheap as hell (I don't waste my money on figs). VN's are free, anime is free, manga is free, /jp is free, and the government doesn't care if I pirate weeaboo music. I also can't afford a car so it's convenient that I can do it all in front of my computer.

I don't know if I'm a poorfag, but I am a NEET. No income means you really buckle down on nonessential spending, unless you're loaded.

Being able to download everything for free is nice. I love the internet.

Yep, pretty shit-poor

Well, I have a great computer, and all my money goes on hard drives, rent and food (I live alone). I have a rice cooker and a kettle. I fucking live off rice and ramen. Never felt more unhealthy in my life.

No job, I get government handouts to attend university.

But no, I "got into this" for pretty much every reason other than financial.

They don't live long because they eat healthy, that's something we do in Europe

Look up caloric restriction. Japs live long because they eat less calories than their bodies need, so it goes into a strange state near starvation, and they remain there their entire lives.

For whatever reason, this makes you live longer.

Fun fact, sleeping for 4-6 hours per night also means you'll live longer than a person who sleeps more

Stocks.
Everything is undervalue now thanks to the recession.
If I have the money I would buy up some of the cheap property but too bad my capital is too low.
I am just waiting for the right time to enter the market now. The market will probably be bottom sometimes next year.

I'm a poorfag. Aside from cigarettes, food, and stuff that my car needs to keep running, I've really only bought a small hard drive, TF2, and a newer video card in the last year and some months.

I'm feeling increasingly guilty about living on my parents' dime, but they're fine with it as long as I keep up my grades in college and give them a helping hand after I leave the house (they plan on selling the house and moving somewhere more affordable once I'm gone).

I'm the definition of poor white trash (born in the bathtub of a doublewide while mom was drunk on JD, Johnny Cash was playing on the radio, etc) but I own my own home, graduated college, have a car, make money, etc.

It was never easy and it was all hard work. It has unfortunately made me a workaholic, emotionally distant and sadistic, so relationships are out of the question.

poorfag here, but only because I don't get a job.
certainly I already have everything I need, people rarely gets to live on their own before they are 25 around here, so I have quite a few years before I can be a poorfag on my own, or get a job after graduating from university(assuming I start it at 2010).
although, if I...maybe get a job or something, I might start buying unnecesary things such as figures and other kawaii stuff.
