i see the point your making but i fail to see the proof. just because you can retire doesn't mean that you have a life.
oh and call me crazy but $200 a month doesn't seem like much to retire on.

I turned 16 2 weeks ago, and even before then, I make over 200$ a week washing dishes. And there's NO WAY I could retire on that really

i dont get it..
some of the people that make games (blizz/ID/sony/sega/nintendo./ etc) those are the BIGGEST gammers.. (goto E3 convention youll see what i mean) total dorks in a way yes... or the people who make LOTR? u think peter jackson is some james bond? NO hes a "DWEEB" and he RoX!
there not loosers.. those people have steady jobs 401k and families...
when your over 30 and u still kick ass at like street fighter / mario kart 64 and Zelda,,,, have a cool career and have relationships that matter ,,,,theres nothing lame about that.
henry rollins said it best once.. "PLAY games dont watch em".. and to me the dorks are the poeple who spend more time staring at nascar and wathcing grown men through balls around!

the only reason i even have ANY idea what this thread is about, is because of the responces. maybe i have ADHD, but i dont think its me.
most often than not, the person saying "you have no life because you play a game" are people playing the game themselves. they fail to see the hypocrisy behind their words and actions, and that just shows how idiotic they actually are.
by the way, in order to retire, you must be making atleast 50k a year, tax free, and have no bills/loans/credit cards to pay. 200$ a month will pay for your water and electricty bill...how youll get water and electricty into your cardboard box, i dont know.
i live with a roomate. rent is 700$ a month divided by 2. so 350$ each. utilities and cable and laundry are included. but if they werent, we'd be looking at more than around 100$ for electricity, 100$ for hydro, 50$ for internet, 50$ for cable, 50$ for laundry, and like 500$ for food. thats a whopping total of 1550$ per month, for rent and the supplies alone.
take into account credit card bills(depends how much you spend, but anywhere from 100-5000$ a month, per person), cell phone bills (30-40$ a month, per person), car insurance (170$ a month, per person), tenant insurance (basically renters house insurance, 310$ a year). so take that 1550, divide it by 2, youll get 775$ a month. add on your extras, and youll get 1150$ a month. times that by 12 and add your tenant insurance, and youll get a whopping, 14110$ a year, to live on your own.
200$ a month is 2400 a year. good luck.

Voices, you also have to consider that we're canadian, so that kinda lowers your estimate by 1/4
Still a friggin lot though. I could barely work with that

14110 (canadian) * .75 (exchange rate) = 10582.50 (US). thats still more than 200$ a month. not only that, but iv heard rent/insurance/cell phones/utilities and everything else is alot more expensive there.
all people see is how much their countrys money is worth, and not the cost of living.
yes the US currency is worth more than Canadian currency, but the US cost of living is higher than the Canadian cost of living, as well. its all the same in the end, just different colors of bills and different dead people on them.
ie: gas costs like 2$ a litre or something in europe. in canada its around 85 cents (average) a litre. european money is also worth about 2-4 times as much as canadian money is worth, depending on where you go. thats just one example of the cost of living : currency worth ratio.

To me, as long as the currency gets me by without falter, I don't care about exchange rates. >.<
