>>46915141>>46915136idk about the other anon but I'm actually poor. I bought all my cards when they were cheap and I was working. I'm only poor though because I went back to school for graduate studies so hopefully a new job will allow for buying graded cards at bubble prices. Or they might even be cheap again.
You can still buy vintage japanese/modern english ygo and modern pokemon without breaking the bank. Also my wife is Japanese and she doesn't care about money except meeting the essentials which you can do working at mcdonalds in a rural area.
