Fair. One Piece does get a bit melodramatic sometimes, even for me.I get tired of melodrama pretty quickly and One Piece if often dripping with it. Even if its earned melodrama after a while it tends to get repetitive and can rob later moments of their impact when characters tend to over react to every emotional event, big or small.
That said, I think Oda mostly does a good job at distinguishing between jokesy overreactions and proper reactions. ymmv.
I got my very own place. We did it fam!
Now you can finally pee on the couch without pissing off your parents or roommates!
I bought over $1000 of furniture today

I bought a house two days ago and the furniture to go in it! I win!
I'll be here tonight, but I'll probably be playing Overwatch too, because they buffed my boi, JUNKRAT!
my favorite feeling in overwatch is to swat junkrat like the bug he is with rein's hammer

Nope, Ashley, so a little bit more expensive and more overpriced, but meh

I'm a pizza delivery guy so I bring down the average wage ;-;
that's okay i'm a cashier
Having expensive taste in furniture is the real reason I never plan to move again. Shit is heavy. My sister buys this Ikea crap for her kids and I can move most of it one handed, meanwhile I need a team lift for some of these love seats, let alone couches, china cabinets, et al. I'm just glad I've never been into grandfather clocks.

I'm a VMI at a tech company in Michigan.
I had a job for several years where I didn't need to own a car or rent an apartment, it was all provided by the job as well as decent health insurance. So I basically lived very frugally and saved up unlike some of my coworkers who wasted tons of money partying, gambling or on other vices. Not that I didn't have a good time but I was pretty smart about this and it was only in my mid twenties. Luckily I was able to not only pay off my student loans, which weren't huge, but also save up a decent amount that I used towards a house. My situation was pretty unique. That and I have a big dog and wanted her to have a yard.

2 years now working the night shift at the movie theater. Unfortunately, we've hit a lull & things have been slooowwwwww, which sucks since I want to work more hours to afford all the games coming out in Sept. & Oct. along with getting a bunch of b-day gifts (best friend, I'm knocking off $20 for his SNES Mini, gotta figure out what to get my dad, & then his wife the usual nail salon certificate), then I have to tell my dad that I want Amazon or Best Buy gift cards. 4 b-days in Sept. including mine, sheesh.
I gotta work on Thanksgiving (though there's a bonus) & I never had to work on Xmas on account it doesn't fall on a day I normally go in, but if it did, I'd still have to go in, especially since that's a super busy day.

Ive been pretty lucky, I guess? Throughout high school and college I worked part time jobs (mostly at best buy) and saved as much as I could. I went to undergrad while staying at home (saving a lot of money) and I was basically able to pay my own tuition through work and scholarship and I never needed to take a loan. Then I got into Grad School in a STEM field, meaning university paid me to go to school, so it was basically a job while getting a PhD, although low paying. (As I understand it grad school in a journalism field is much different in BDubs case).
It took me a while to get a job after getting my PhD, but I was able to move in with my brother (Massicot on GAF) for a while with basically no expenditures of my own, so even though I had no income for several months I could mostly sit on my money and even buy some frivolous things. Now I'm in a post-doc position at a national lab, which is pretty well paying but technically temporary, but hopefully can give me good experience in a research field.
So I've basically completed nine years of "college" with no debt. I'm really just winging it in life and seeing what happens.

A lot of times annoyingly soAsian media (especially Japanese) is much more emotive then western (especially English speaking countries)

I'm doing education, hopefully. It's a little more stable and less annoying. Plus medical. Getting all my ducks in a row this month, gonna have applications in by October 1, and start in Februrary, I hope anyway. Still need to make sure my letters are squared away. Luckily I managed to save up a nice bundle of cash by taking a crappy staff job part-time last year so my loan won't need to be too big.
i bet this is actually trueI kill people for money so that pays pretty well.
I am cheering you on Seda. My next step is applying for an ICU position and getting a raise. Should ease up the month to month payments so I can have more fun. I am going to have to figure out a way to watch Toonami Live with you guys other than bumming off my parents for the next few months.
Very musical internSurprised no one asked what a VMI is considering people always do when I say what I do.
I make an extra $300/mo. by going to the plasma center a minute away from me twice a week & sit for about an hour while they take my blood & separate the plasma from it while I browse the internet or watch videos. Been doing this for about 4 years considering a month or so ago, they stated that I've donated over 300 times.
Hard to go back to college when it's hard to schedule classes with the night shift & making sure you don't work less hours when needing to pay for classes + books when already dealing with about $10k in debt/paying $100 per month. Plus the majority of college was just frustration when I think back & realized home life made it more stressful (helping take care of my mom, dealing with her death, helping around the house while taking care of a sister 10 years younger, dealing with the 3 kids of the woman my dad dated who he would eventually marry, etc.), only now the frustration would be "crap, am I working enough hours at work to afford these classes, but not too long to make sure I have the time & energy to actually go to class while doing homework and studying?"
My friend said he noticed I was doing a whole lot better once I had moved out last year since the house now has 5 or 6 people (4 of which are kids in school), 4 dogs, & 5 cats. Simply put, I'm super glad I got out when I did.

I'm an undergrad student. Bringing that average income way down.
I googled it lol

$300/month is basically my rent + utilities every month, haha. Selling my plasma would pay for all but my food every month.
Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere so there's no place to sell my blood.
College used to be free thanks to financial aid (I went to the community one in town to get the basic stuff taken care of like Math, Science, English, etc.), but then when I switched to the other one in town that let me focus more on actual degrees, I discovered it wasn't enough so I had to start a loan. Also jesus, parking at college would sometimes take 15 minutes of drifting around looking to see if someone would be leaving for an open spot in the afternoon, hated it. Still have about 4 years worth of classes taken
I'm lucky in that after utility, my rent is just below $400 (when I moved in, it was only $326 + $25/mo for a pet). I make enough where I still try to work a budget out, but I'm never really hurting unless some kind of unexpected crap comes up. I cancelled my cable since I now have to deal with car insurance, but I did the math & my monthly payments only went up about $40.$300/month is basically my rent + utilities every month, haha. Selling my plasma would pay for all but my food every month.

I'm pretty sure I'm type A from what I remember (that or O, I only remember my dad & sis have the same type while I was the same as my mom). They just separate the plasma from your blood, then put it back into you once they got enough, the type of blood doesn't seem to matter.Do you have that blood type that everyone can use zonic?
My financial saving grace is that I'm debt free.
This is a big deal, don;t sell yourself short. I've never had significant debt at all and I think that is really pretty notable. being debt free with no loan payments is huge

I work in the PR department of a state ran college system. I do video editing, recording and photography work. Why do Veelk and CNTR have the most brain intensive fields? Jesus.
I'm a broke-ass physics student, lol.
if I had to guess, the subcommunities with the most money would be the expensive-ass hobby ones, like warharmmer 40k or gunpla or so
LOL, I'm also a broke physics student. But hopefully will be graduating not too much later.
I really don't want to go to grad school. Not yet anyhow.
I've never had cable, which has saved me so much money.I'm lucky in that after utility, my rent is just below $400 (when I moved in, it was only $326 + $25/mo for a pet).

Why people still buy it is beyond me.
The absolute most i have is Sling, which I will dump ASAP once CN/AS has a streaming service.

And I'm being dragged to some potentially ghetto ass party tonight. I'm suffering already.
This was obvious from your Sandy story.My BA is in Physics.
Agreed. When I was getting free community college, it felt so nice that I didn't have to worry about funds or debts, especially when I was technically making money back at times selling college books back. I'm lucky in that my debt is nowhere near as bad as others (at the most, I owed about $9,000 & have paid off $1,000 of it, so I've got about 6.75 years left of debt to deal with).This is a big deal, don;t sell yourself short. I've never had significant debt at all and I think that is really pretty notable. being debt free with no loan payments is huge
Less monthly payments = more spending money/bigger safety net.
My parents saved money, and when combined with my Bar Mitzvah money I wasn't allowed to touch when I was 13 (I -really- wanted a PS2 and was told I couldn't use any of it), had 90% of my college paid for me. I also had the ability to take summer classes at my local community college for free (My mom was a professor), which I used to take a bunch of GenED courses. Basically, My expenses came down to paying for my textbooks (fuck $300 accounting textbooks!), my 8th semester tuition (paid from money I had earned working over the years) and my lodging/expenses while doing my internship that summer. I worked as a lifeguard all 4 years of college at the campus pool for spending money, and lifeguarded/managed full time each summer back home.
It took me 3 years after graduation to get a "real" job, and I had a long stretch of unemployment from January of 2016 till June of this year. In that time, I worked a few temp jobs, I worked at a call center as well, but literally made more on unemployment than I did at those jobs, working full time. Really happy where I am right now though! Probably applied to 400 jobs in that 18 months, had 30ish different interviews, and ended up doing something I love, and got a 6K raise over my last full-time job, lol
Now that my 90 day prohibation period is up, I'm starting to shop around for an apartment. It's a lot harder than I thought- figuring out being closer to my friends vs major city vs closer to work.
