Why does anime have to be both so addicting and so expensive?! I mean, there should be a national fund just for anime addicts so that we can support our habit! Drugs are seriously cheeper, and I think they are less addicting! Shouldn't it be illegal to sell something so addicting? No, I am not suggesting to outlaw anime, just to give it away instead of selling it. Laughing

Seriously, though, how can someone living off military pay (such as myself), a poor college student, or most of the other type of people that anime addicts are (young, with poor pay) afford enough anime?

LOL. Tobias, you are funny.

Afroforce, I am a military wife. My husband is an airman, first class. Sounds impressive, but he is only one step up from the bottom of the totem pole. That means he gets pretty much no money. LOL. He does not become a senior airman for a while still (February, I think). Even then, while he does get a raise, we will not be rich by any means. Now if he were an OFFICER, we would have no finance problems!

I know how the system works, (Sadly I probably earn more than a A1C.)
But when he hits Tech it'll be all good.
