@allworkandnoclay:

UK’s Royal Navy and Pacific 1940 is complete!

:lol: :lol:
Remember to get Europe!

@i:

thats like three hundred dollars!!! how can you aford to spend that much on board games!

Well this is how I’m getting it either
A. Wait till my birthday
B. Wait till Christmas
C. Use my allowance
D. Just get my Dad to buy it.

And also for the 300 dollars thing, it’s just what he buys, and he wants to buy it. Like you could not be the richest person, but may have like an over $1000 thing that’s not like a TV, house, or car. It’s just like what he wants to buy with spare money, or B he’s just rich or is pretty rich. Either way it’s his choice. Did that make any sense?

@allworkandnoclay:

I’m not rich, I just don’t spend much money on luxuries… Also, since this painting project has become such a venture and I’m fairly zealous about WWII history, I look at this as something I’m going to have and enjoy the rest of my life… Possibly something I’ll pass down to my kids after I know they’ll appreciate it.

Another thing: I’ve never paid more than $60 for P:1940 and sold the extra parts (everything except the units) to people that didn’t feel like buying the full game. With all expenditures tallied, for three P:1940 sets I’ve paid $140. I don’t expect to pay much more than that for E:1940.

I assume you guys are young. In the future, even with a very minimal income, I think you’ll agree that $300 isn’t a bad investment if it’s something you’ve very passionate about. You just have to sacrifice some other things to get it, which makes it even more worth it.

Well said.  $300 is a tiny investment into a hobby you truly enjoy (I’m at about that now for my AA50 topographical map table!).  Spending little on luxuries and getting a little bit at a time, over a great deal of time makes it all that much easier.

Allwork : Fantastic job!  I hope mine turn out half as nice when I get around to it!

If you get $10 a week you don’t go splurging on overly expensive luxuries like that.  You hope to get things as a gift instead and look at getting a part time job for extras.

I use my allowance for comics, and I’m too young to be hired.
