5 months but it would have taken another 5 or so if I hadn't sold my PS3+games to help pay for it (which I bought by saving up and selling things and so on) I'm lucky to have as much left over each month as I do now. If I had any sort of life it'd be spent on cell phone bills and transportation. I know if I get a job I wont have the left over money anymore, but then again I'd have the job income.

I live off 8400 USD a year, screw you. I doubt you be able to live where the only money you can spend is on food and bills and literally nothing else. Your family probably makes more in a year than I do in 5. Tell me, what do you [B][I]you[/I][/B] spend money on each month and how much, disregarding essential bills, and food?
I want there just to steal something unnoticed.

It's still not poor though, poor is being on food stamps and being barely able to get by because you also have to feed the rest of your family, since you live on your own it's a lot less of a problem, evident by the fact that you're able to afford a new pc.

You're right. It's worse, impoverished.
black friday = the hunger games of shopping

Was gonna say, that seems way too low to be a working wage I guess disability in the US is far worse than here in the UK...
[QUOTE=TonyP;38579334]I am disabled.[/QUOTE] Oh Well I couldn't have picked a worse argument then

The Walmart near me was a fucking nightmare. The only reason I went was because a tiny 5 foot 4 friend wanted a TV, and she was worried about being trampled. (I'm 6 foot 2 and heavyset, yes I've done this before with her :v: ) She was pretty early in line, I met her 10 minutes before it opened. I never thought I'd see such a mob of people at that Walmart, the entire store was flooded within minutes. Take note, we're not really close to any dense population centers, but i guess it was all spillover from over places. My friend and I sprinted to the electronics and managed to drag off a TV before the main mob made it there, while we were going, we had to go past the sporting goods section (the way we came was blocked with people). While doing so, I saw 3-4 guys smash open the display case with ammo inside it and take everything they could. I don't know if they were working together, but they cleaned it out in less than 30 seconds. Mind you, the store was FULL, there was maybe 2 security guards and the average number of employees, so there was no one around to see it. I think this set of a chain reaction, because the jewelry display was also smashed when we passed it. Overall, saved about $100 on a TV, wooo.
Last year we went to walmart (went to a different one out of the city) for some 32 inch LED TV's they had on sale for like $200 and they were smart as hell about it they put them all in the car place locked it up gave people numbers (1 for each TV you wanted) made us stand in line until 3AM (only bad part considering it started at 10PM) but there were no fights/riots (near us we saw towls and video games and shit flying over shelves) when we left the store was empty already,ended up getting 3 TV's for family members for Christmas for $600 which was the original price of the TV's then.
Walmart is probably the worst when it comes to BF. They just open the doors and let things happen however. Most stores I know of pass out papers prior to opening for the doorbuster items.

[editline]25th November 2012[/editline] Also, no black friday deals at the PX or the bazaar. Disappointing.
