>>2499407THAT is entirely reasonable, I used to be a dumb kid about it, just getting what I wanted with little thought on it, pissing away what spending money I had for fun.
Now I've gotten to the point where I either A: buy things that I know will go up in value and are easily resold for the amount I put in or a few bucks more, or is something I just feel like having.
I'm going to be spending for entertainment one way or another, at least mtg is something I physically have and can try to get some of my dosh back from when I want/need to compared to video games that I would.
I completely get and understand where you're coming from, especially if you aren't lucky on having a good local game store or friends to play with =)
