NX Spender: How much have YOU spent on NX?

You have a problem with spending extra money you have on a game you enjoy and have fun with?

Honestly I don't know about him at all but I do have a problem with my spending and I completely relate to his sentiments. I don't really have fun on this game anymore. At the very least not in the same way that I used to. Every time I get back into playing I end up getting addicted again. I really hate myself for it. I'm really disgusted. Even in the past 5 days alone I spent over $150 on a character I just made and probably won't continue to play. I'm unemployed and out of school in therapy for other things. I guess I'm being way too candid right now and I don't know if I'm the only one like this or not. I guess one part of my bipolar disordered behavior includes impulsive over spending. I really want to quit but I don't know how to quit for good. I keep relying on Maple for the escape from reality it used to provide for me.

OT: 7,570,690 in purchases on 5 accounts from April 2007 to present. This doesn't include NX I've bought for friends and exes or NX I've traded for equips. One of the biggest reasons why I'm so disappointed is because I know my mom struggled and worked really hard to get to where she is now. Both she and my step-dad make over 100k each per year but they grew up in the Caribbean pretty poor. They put themselves through school on their own and had to sacrifice a lot to do so. I can't justify my spending knowing that my own mother was working 2 jobs and putting herself through pharmacy school all while having to share a one bedroom apartment with 4 other family members when she was my age. Three of them shared a mattress. I feel like such a spoiled peach and wasting so much money on this game is embarrassing to me.

But yeah. I'm probably an exception.
