Srsly.
That is WHY the gaming market exists.
"blah blah blah I bring home 36k a year and my annual bills total around 20k what to do with the extra 16k"
Well, yeah, that's the basically irrefutable argument for gaming. People say "why spend on virtual property," but what's the difference between enjoying yourself through virtual property, and enjoying yourself through going to a movie or a restaurant? The movie ends in an hour, and the food goes in one hole and out another, the money is just as gone. If you have fun, that's the justification right there.
However, spending 4010 on Maple is not such a good idea because Maple constantly undermines existing gear to encourage spending on newer gears. HayO scrolled a legit perfect Fairfrozen on a 103 base, (see Selling forums,) but once Maker comes out, the significance of such an item diminishes. I mean think about it, before Dark Scrolls came out, if somebody had a perfect legit Fairfrozen, they'd be the wonder of all of Global, and they'd get very far on that item. How on earth did they make perfect gears outdated? But in other games, where gear will not become outdated and where the game itself is fairly new, such an expenditure makes more sense.
