Money and GAMES
Feb. 12th, 2021 09:10 pmI might have talked about this in a previous post, but Dens is wanting me to empty out my bank account because he thinks that the less money I have the more "disabled" I will look and it will increase my chances of getting SSI faster lmfao. Of course, this is... most likely not the case, but originally he was going to have me just go to the bank and take out all the money immediately, but I told it would look suspicious if suddenly all the money was gone. But really I just didn't want to take the money out :P
Then today there was a dead opossum in our garage so we called a wildlife expert to remove it. Well, we didn't know if it was dead or asleep and didn't want to risk waking it up and scaring it into the attic or something weird like that. But yeah, that cost $200 for them to come pick it up and take it away. So I offered to pay for that, as the first thing to empty some money out, so hopefully he won't bug me about taking money out for a while.
But the main reason I wanna keep money is because there's lots of goodies coming out soon. We've got RetroMania Wrestling, Harvest Moon: One World, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, and Rune Factory 5 all coming out in the first half of this year, and SaGa Frontier Remastered coming out in Summer. So I need my munnies. I've already preordered Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons. I kinda tweeted that I wasn't going to get HM since it's not including same-sex marriage, but... oops.
I don't know what I'm going to do with the other stimulus check(s) that will come in the future. I don't really NEED money right away, so I might just take them out in cash and give it to Dens.
If (when????) I get onto SSI, I'm going to start 'paying my way around here,' paying for the phones and internet and chipping in on the mortgage and stuff like that, basically using up all the money, but freeing up some of Dens's money. If I have extra, since disabled people aren't allowed to save money, I'll start getting into collecting again, I guess? Or put it back into Twitch or something.
But yeah, that's a long road ahead, and I don't want to be counting any chickens.
Which reminds me I need to get back to playing Friends of Mineral Town...
I've been obsessively playing mobile games, which I need to get away from but... the thing is I really like mobile games hahaha. They're easy to stay attached to, and they require little effort and a lot can play themsevles, which is good for depressive episodes when you have low motivation and manic episodes when you have low concentration, but you still want to keep yourself "busy" and feel like you're accomplishing something.
The problem is that they eat up a ton of time, because they require you to grind all day to accomplish your goals unless you want to spend $3000 a month on them. And even if you DO spend money on them, they still reel you in with daily missions and timers and stuff to prey on your FOMO.
But yeah, what I've been playing (with videos!):
