How Much I've Spent on NX

I love how people say this kind of thing is ridiculous, and yet if you were to examine their spending on a hobby other than Maplestory that they find particularly special to them, you'd probably end up with a similar (if not higher) result.

I'll admit I can't think of how you spend 700 a month on MS...

But it's not even as much as leasing/insuring a luxury car. Do you need a nice car? Generally, not. But within a certain community, it reflects your status. And if you're driving all day, why not?
