[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8264955, member: 18"] WOOOOOOF ouch oooof damn. I'm not saying it's not justifiable. If you're going to play the entire campaign at least once and definitely it's going to be helped by these bits and bobs I could see it but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Dude, that's because you had a house (not a rental, from the sound of it) and car when you were 30, 20 years ago. That means you got in before house prices spiralled upwards, and whilst even a "lower income job" was, economically-speaking, far more powerful than a "lower income job" or even some "middle-income" jobs now. It sounds like "whining" to you because you benefited from being on the right side of it, and don't understand how it works nowadays. It's not a matter of opinion either, it's a matter of demonstrable, mathematical fact. Prices now are far higher (particularly for housing, including rental). Incomes have not risen. Purchasing power has declined. Mortgages have become harder to get and less favourable to the mortgagee. Interest rates on savings of all kinds are pathetically low compared to 20 years ago. I could go on. It's not even politics, it's too easy to demonstrate as fact. If you're above a certain age and you managed to get on the housing ladder before it went to hell, you're well-protected from this. So for basically anyone 40-downwards (and some people in the 40-45 age range) now, it's a big (and growing) problem with no obvious solution. [/QUOTE]
