I know this is not NC related. But I want to reach the most people and this is one of the most active forums.

I ask you all, is there such thing as TOO MANY video games. I myself have over $1000 of video game merchantise (note: Canadian Dollars). My Dad says that's enough. He's says I should save for college.

Is it possible to save for post secondary education and maintian my hobby, I tried getting a job, but no one hired me.

Please post here.

Well, I guess it depends how old you are. I mean, I don't see why you'd be expected to worry about college unless you were somewhere around 16. But even then I would hope that your parents would help at least a little in paying for your college education. But I don't see why you should cut off gaming all together. Maybe you should just work on limited yourself to the games that you really want. That's what I do, as a college student.-jay

I have no clue how much I've spent.
But I know that if had saved my money instead of blowing it on video games,I'd be rolling in dough.
