That is the thing life is not all about money. My point in the first post is that do what you are destined to do, because in the end win or lose you did you! :P And supposedly school is just not him. So he is going to have to find an alternative to make money which is a list of things to do and play etc. Whether you lose the car or not, and all that matters is you do you. So point being whether it is a slot machine or a arcade where is that money going to and what are you going to do to make that money back? Whether it is play an arcade and waste the money, gamble it at a casino or just invest in making more money! All these alternatives are as arcade games one is a slot machine, one is a quest, the other is a pinball game. No matter what you do, do you! (Doesn't have to be a game about making more money as not even the richest skill is about money at all, yet it is rich because a lot of money goes to it.) Money is a want not a necessity. Unless you are a farmer and rely on fixed goods, but that is economically speaking.

You started your statement with putting money in with the hope of making money but the whole thing was supposed to lead to the point that money isn't everything?
There is zero fun you can have at an acrade without money. Zero!
Dude you suck at this!

Albeit an arcade is a horrible investment, and I was only left with pixels saying game over. But I got what I wanted a game that I may have lost or won.

Essentially the same thing happened with the OP, he invested in an arcade game(life) got some time with the FR-S and now GAME-OVER.

If anything, give me the FR-S and I will pour money into the bill and have it under my name. You can't have an FR-S when you're putting the coin in the machine, and not expect to lose the FR-S after the game is over. How is that for an arcade analogy to my first post.

You win I give up, I stopped reading at casino and arcade and money who is winning or who is not winning the point of my post is that in this game have fun! Zero to Hero to One Million Dollars
So the guy who is making millions of dollars is not the same as the guy who won in pinball?

Man, is a school that hard nowadays? When I was your age everything was much harder, we did not have the technology that you have today. Believe me, studying is much easier today. You just need to have the right motivation and desire to study and learn something new every day. Also, no one is forcing you to study or go to school, there is always an option for homeschooling.

I would hope they have completed school in the almost 3 years that have passed.

Link to some "this book will teach all you know" site will show up any time now. This bot does a pretty decent job of almost making sense in a thread before adding their link though.

Do not say that) Yeah, I also remember these times)) Since I was an excellent pupil at school, I was always chasing grades ... Therefore, I can now admit that people from different sites https://uk.edubirdie.com/article-review also helped me write essays
