    I'd like to share a story that happened with me once. Hopefully it'll teach people about a certain perspective when it comes to considering what is or isn't expensive.

    I was having lunch with some coworkers. The place that was chosen was a fairly pricey restaurant. There were about 8 of us at the table. When it was time to order, a few of them said they would just have a drink and skip out on lunch. Said the food would be too expensive. And you know what? That's fair enough. I was in no position to judge. I was, however, in a position to launch a discussion.

    I knew something about one of the guys who was complaining about the price. He loves to party. It was basically his favorite thing to talk about. And here's the thing about clubs - they're far from cheap, with some drinks costing upwards of 20 bucks. Imagine paying 20 bucks for a single drink. And you KNOW you're not just going to have one throughout the night. So you're basically spending upwards of 80 bucks on a single night.

    80 bucks. Is it worth it? To me, it's a complete waste. Because not only do I hate drinking, but I also don't like clubs. But to some, it's money well spent. Especially depending on how the night goes. Some people live for those moments they spend on clubs. And so for them, 80 bucks is likely nothing.

    Now compare spending 20 bucks on a drink at a bar, with 20 bucks on a virtual outfit for your online game character. Is it really that expensive?

    Another thing to consider is whether it's worth it or not. Consider how many free outfits/mounts you've worked hard to get in-game, but never use.
