    Is it terribly wrong for me to feel a bit of resentment towards those of you who can afford all the NIB games you want every year?

    My wife and I lived in the same apartment for ten years in order to save a decent down payment then purchased a new construction home on a 15 year mortgage that I paid off in 12-1/2 years. We have no credit card debt and own six cars all purchased new by saving for years in between purchases and then ordering a car and paying cash. I'm old enough to retire now but I'm still working because I'm afraid I will outlive my retirement savings or incur huge medical costs if something goes wrong (my wife has twice been treated for cancer already). I'd really like to buy another new pin because there are a lot of good games coming out these days and interest in a hobby can fade if nothing is added to renew one's interest (and I won't let go of any of my current pins). I've only purchased one pin in the last ten years, and that was done in 2014 by using a one-time-only one month's pay bonus received for working for twenty years at my current job. But my wife considers it totally selfish of me to want any more stuff than I already have.

    Quoted from semicolin:

    A nuclear-powered hot tub.

    Wait, what?
