EVGA dropping their 3090 TI cards by up to $800 to a $1400 total.

I maintain my own sanity by buying and never price-checking every again. What you're doing I consider self-torture.

Not really, just life experience. One cannot know the best course of action but can improve based on their experience. So even if it looks like a loss, in the end it's still a win if you make the best out of it. One who's afraid to make mistakes cannot improve.

Yeah but it doesn't matter what salary you get when other prices are rising through the roof. ;) Apparently if you get a new energy contract right now, you gonna pay 3x more up to 6000 a year. That's a few months salary for people. I hear alot of "i can't afford that" on twitter but we don't demonstrate and all just let it go. Also our inflation is up to 10% or something.
A lot of companies got consumed with greed, they always want profit each year, and raise their prices each year instead of it going down.

Yes atm i still live at home, and i know i will never get a high paid function, but doesn't mean i am not very worried any less, my biggest wish in life is still getting some children, but how do i ever build something up? Provide for them properly?

I am not a conspiracy thinker, but the WEF (which alot of our ministers, mayors and other high ranked people are members of by "coincidence") their motto is they want you to have nothing, not even a car of your own. And we are going a long way with this.
Meanwhile we welcome refugees enmass, and they get everything free, a house, healthcare, pocket money, but if the dutch person can't afford their electricty bill, it's just tough luck and a cold winter or worse just be on the streets.

I read yesterday a comment how your dad (or any male) back in the 80-90's could afford a house while the woman stayed at home with the kids, go on a holiday etc now even with 2 incomes you can barely buy a house (not to mention we got a shortage of houses), let alone afford a vacation.
