This is going to sound like white whine but here goes:
The Steam sale is on but I had already made the decision not to buy anything unnecessary this month because my family is broke for the moment... I was actually pondering wether or not to complain about this since, lets face it I was able to pay the rent (yay!) and propably survive to the next month so this is nothing serious... Still I'd rather not spend any money on games at a time like this.
For background:
My wife should be getting some money from the goverment due to our baby, but since it apparently took them a bit while longer to process the paperwork than we though AND she filed the paperwork late we lost about half of our income for over two months. The money I get has been going to essentials but this month we ran out, so we have to make it with VISA so I'd rather not buy anything unnecessary.
And the money I make? I got a trainee job through the unemployment office, I work fulltime but only get the unemployment money +9€ per day... But I do get valuable work experience
and the company got a free employee (they literally don't have to pay anything) and they
might hire me after the training period is over. If I have impressed them. And the company is doing so well that they can hire more employees. Or they could just dump me and maybe get another free trainee later... We shall see.
