There seriously aren't people who do this are there? I get that things are expensive, but going into thousands of dollars of high interest debt for a few weekends can't be a thing
Oh yeah, it happens. Seen folks go into thousands because they needed it for their "mental health" and cons were the "only thing that makes me happy!"Don't get me wrong i'm all for having the occasional splurge for a treat but it shouldn't be to the point of building debt.
>>10962355That's fucking insane. I get cons are great and it's nice to have a community. But the damage that this debt does to you is so bad.What's the long term plan for these people. Get someone to cover the bill?
>>10962340Not me because I’m not retard with my finances but I do know someone who literally chose going to a con over their fucking electricity bill for the month… only for them to beg online for money after the con was over to “help a queer cosplayer in crisis” Many such cases
>>10962357>queerwell, thats the problem right there
Ive seen stories of people blowing their college funds on shit like Coachella, Taylor Swift or Beyonce ticketsIf i were ever irresponsible with money, i wouldn’t go to an anime con and instead would live my weeb dreams with a japan trip
