A big reason why the old people don’t get it, is that they see young people with luxuries, and don’t realize that luxuries, like my high end gaming PC and addiction to junkfood… Still costs less than three month’s rent no matter how much I splurge
A computer is also an incredibly cost efficient luxury in the long run, You spend a decent amount on it once and then you’re good for essentially endless free content for at least a decade, maybe 5 years minnimum if you have to have the latest and greatest hardware.
Edit: Quick maths for building a new PC every 5 years with flagship (though not Halo stuff like 90 series) hardware works out about 10 eurodolarpounds a week.
Ya know I’m gonna feel real stupid stockpiling this Steam games if Valve ever becomes a publically traded company, especially if they become ban happy like Reddit or VRChat
Edit: For the record, no I’m not banned from VRChat, I don’t use it, I prefer Resonite, but I have heard horror stories of people getting 6 days bans for no reason out of the blue with staff refusing to elaborate.

I thought you were exaggerating but I calculated the cost of it… Damn, you’re right.
That’s really what it comes down to, Luxuries cost less, Necessities cost more

Plus quite a few luxuries are now necessary, like a good smartphone, laptop/computer and a car (in more rural areas).
The few sort of luxuries you splurge on are what keeps you from losing your sanity
