>>10059749>30-40k per year$2000 in mortgage/rent per month
$200 in utilities per month
$150 in food per month
$0 for investment/savings, because lol most people are living pay check to pay check and don't plan.
That leaves you like $150 for your entertainment budget per month, if you make only 30k per year and are living in some high priced city/state. So that's 4-5x $350 purchases a year.
If you live in Bumfuck, Idaho, you're paying way less for your home and utilities by like 75%.
Most people on /toy/ aren't married nor have kids, so there's way more money going toward your entertainment budget.
I imagine a good chunk of people here live with their parents, at least based on the collection threads where a bed is often seen, so that cuts down on monthly expenditures by at least half if not 100%.
I'm actually more interested in how foreigners of /toy/ can even afford to buy imports so often, because the third worlders only make like 10k a year if they're lucky.
