Was a builder 4 years ago. Built this with my rebate.

No longer a builder I am now a courier... I am now broke.

Will just make abundantly clear. I was a builder for many years. I built this PC with a tax rebate I had. I never had a day off during COVID, never had a day off in my time as a builder as I was self employed unless it was very important like the birth of my son. Other than that... my back is now broke as much as my bank account.

I am now a courier, I am broke af.

I know the feeling. I built a high end server for Google Stadia-like streaming and work. Very high end, costs at least 4-5k. I could keep buying high end gear every month because I had a well paying job before I had a stroke and had to stop. Every time I save up money something comes up, such as the car requiring repair or house problems.

Easy to say when you don't know someone's situation.

I had 5k saved up but had to use that for repairs at my house after severe water damage. Then my car needed repairs, the list goes on. I keep track of every cent that comes in and goes out of our bank accounts, but with my health issues and current crisis in Europe the cost of everything is high.

I managed to make everything as cheap as possible, from mortgage to food to internet. If something were to happen to my income or that of my wife's we can still survive on one income. According to my calculations we're saving up €600 a month but with the shitty luck we're having we don't really see much if that.

My wife likes board games so I tried to play with her sadly she isn’t a video game person

Board games can snowball into so much more. Get her into D&D then drop subliminal messages about how the campaign is like x game. You got this!

Ok, here's free advice: fans cool the same (maybe better) without the RGB bullshit AND are cheaper. You are welcome.

Nah. That's your preference. I'm just stating facts. And perhaps also my own personal preference. Just know that to save money, ditch the RGB. But if it's that important to you, go off yo. It's whatever. Thanks!

Luckily during coving I had a tax break.

Got some money back so I spent if on my PC. As this is where.i spend the bulk of my time... Good investment for me.
