I hope I'm reading this right, you make 625$ a month in total?

I make about 2,700$ a month if there happens to be three pay periods in one month. This is after taxes mind you.

Yes, $625 a month in total D:

far from it. I support myself, my girlfriend (who can't find a job around here and our three cats)

Where are you located?

It's hard to compare foreign money with ours. I can get by relatively comfortably on what I make and collectibles. That said, as long as I don't go too far our of the boundaries of priority collectibles I'm okay. Some of the time I have less than 100$ in my account before a pay check

If I made 1,000$ a pay I would be very well off. I make a little less than 900$ every two weeks.

Aren't the taxes high in South America? If I remember right, they are pretty high in Brazil.

I apologize if I'm wrong.

It's just that the Naked Snakes are one inch too short. They fixed the scale with Old Snake and Raiden.

I extend their feet too make them look taller, it's either that or displaying a severely underscaled figure!

There has been some cheap yamato sniper wolfs on evil bay extremely recently.

I know! Too bad I can't get them due to shipping!

Is ok to have a monthly salary of USD$625 for a job of 45 hours a week?

Where are you from? I know that the cost of living in America is far higher than say, Asia. I have no idea how much is needed monthly just to eat and pay the bills there!

He's from Chile.

I have about 600$+ bills a month and that doesn't factor in food. They are taxing the dollar as if it was the 1980's.

Oh wow. I can't imagine how much it needs to eat for a month, especially if one is supporting a family.

Well, regardless of what country we live in or how the economic situation is, there's one thing we have all in common: Say goodbye to the 50/20/30 rule!

Well as far Im seeing among the web, cost of living is higher in the States, but the thing is to know if salaries on the same field are paid the same. Maybe my career is better paid in the states or something, gonna keep looking. You guys know which is your "friendly job finder" website in the states?
I know my father lives in Seattle, but is not the deal to go to live with him or anything lol

Oh btw, thank you all for your repsonses, very interesting insights

Oh and back on track with Medi MGS figures, what's the general opinion about this:

are Old/Raiden RAH any worth considering today standarts? or is it wiser to just wait for a PAK version of both figures? Im about to buy a Raiden for $300, but Im not sure if the figure itself is worth that

300$ is 60$ cheaper than what Brandon just got his for. I would go for it, considering it's in new shape. You can easily sell it for what you paid for it or close to it.

Medicom is very archaic, but they still are great figures.

Default out of the box they look ugly, all the Medicoms are very pale but with a repaint they look awesome!

 

[synysterfox]

Yeah I've seen some very cool repaints of Old Snake.
Gonna get Raden then, should be my second 1/6 ever hehehe thanks guys.
I guess I can get Old Snake cheaper some time in the future, he doesnt seem to be so limited, eh?

Oh and I forgot to ask, which is your prefered website to find jobs in the states??

 

[Brandoloneous]

I plan to send my Raiden and Old Snake heads in for a repaint in the future.

As for the 7" Medicom Old Snake, why is he impossible to find?!

Hard to say. Snag a Job is a good source for local stuff.

The unhooded version? I lost the CQC knives for both of them

Yeah, why the hell? Even on eBay he's nowhere to be found, only the crouching one and the Octo Mask one.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Be careful of bootlegs they're all over the place especially China. If you find him let me know who the sellers are i know who are selling the crap ones. I won't let you get ripped off. Always ask for an actual picture of the product you are buying when it comes to those figures. The ones that are mislabeled are bootleg they all say snake octocamo facemask version.

Looks like the yellow play arts Raiden went up for preorder recently. Sold out everywhere. Supposed to be retailing at the end of the month.
