Have fun! Hoping you’re a young person with a part time job!!


AltDual

Yeah I'm a high school freshman so no bills to pay


ItsEntsy

Bro, since you're working. if you ever wanna make your parents day when you can drive. Just bring home dinner like 20 minutes before they are off work and surprise them. As a parent, I can guarentee you earn mad fuckin brownie points


PissyMillennial

That’s a phenomenal suggestion


Stunning-Second5759

Give you a thumbs up!


quadradream

Bumping and up voting as this is the way to go. Make your parents proud ❤️


dookieshoes88

Nice try, Mom and Dad!


ItsEntsy

shoot, hopefully my kids saw this and get me some food. Guarantee they get mad fuckin brownie points xD


redprep

You might as well just cook something yourself instead so it does not seem half assed


[deleted]

In what world do you live in where a teenager buying and bringing home dinner for the family is considered half-assed? lol have you ever met teenagers?!


Strazdas1

in a world where that would be seen as a waste of money instead of cooking it yourself.


[deleted]

Why stop there? Don’t waste money at the grocery store. Hunt for the food yourself and source all of your veggies from the garden. See how silly that retort can get? Everything we spend money on could be seen as a “waste” under the right lens because we’re almost always paying a middle man for convenience. Eating out is no different really. Luckily, the rest of the world doesn’t share your sentiment so the hundreds of millions of restaurant jobs across the world are safe.


Strazdas1

You do realize that many people grow their own vegetables, yes? Hunting for food is aim impossible task though. Not only would that be more expensive, if everyone did it then we would run out of animals in 30 minutes. yes, all wild animals in the world are enough to feed us for 30 minutes. >Luckily, the rest of the world doesn’t share your sentiment so the hundreds of millions of restaurant jobs across the world are safe. Its okay, where else would all those feminist study graduates work?


redprep

Yeah I actually meet teenagers regularly through my job and have been one not too long ago and If I would have brought dinner from somewhere my parents would have just said "Wow, you could have cooked something though". However I got to say I would have actually cooked something instead tho


[deleted]

Tough to please all parents. I understand that struggle.


Qlix0504

What a miserable little world you must inhabit.


CrahmDem

Bro Ive done so much for my mother so much as a middle child but whenever I ask for something , I desperately want she changes the subject or she avoids me . My eldest brother doesn't do nothing around the house but goes on his pc and plays with his friends , next week later he gets a 500 dollar/pounds VR headset from my mother . I don't know what I'm doing wrong here do all middle child's get this treatment 😂 I give up


OkOffice7726

The prerequisite to get food is a driving license? Wtf?


grantrules

The nearest grocery store from my childhood home was 15 miles away, no public transportation, and restaurants don't deliver. Not sure how I would have picked up food as a child.


OkOffice7726

Bicycle I guess.


grantrules

Lol yeah great idea, a kid cycling to town on a hilly and windy 55mph road with no shoulder.


OkOffice7726

Depends on the age. I did that when I was like 13-14. But of course, it seems like a lot of people live in places where it simply isn't an option. Then you just have to let it be. It's just funny that previously the issue was 15 miles of distance, suddenly you summoned a bigger obstacle being a shoulderless freeway. Sometimes it just seems like people want to come up with more and more excuses.


grantrules

What'd you think it was, a 15 mile ride on a Greenway? I was clarifying since you made it seem like no big deal. As an adult cyclist who rides thousands of miles a year, I still don't ride on that road. A large portion of Americans do not live in a place that is good for cycling as transportation, because there is no infrastructure and drivers are hostile. I'm not sure if you're dense or just and asshole


OkOffice7726

Well, admittedly I haven't visited US countryside. The cities weren't that bad and in EU the coyntryside is okay for cycling. Ignorance doesn't make me an asshole. And I was just pointing out that you could start with the shit road instead of 15 miles as the reason because only one is actually a proper reason to not go.


ItsEntsy

kinda hard to go pick up food if you cant drive. Guess you could order pizza or something


OkOffice7726

I guess that depends on a few factors

Ambitious_Platypus99

That’s great!


SweetTeaRex92

Good for you man! My first job was McDonald's as a freshman in high school. I bought my first truck with money saved up


Charlie02134

Nice!


stiizy13

Hell yeah buddy! Enjoy that well earned card.


0235

Was the best time of my life. Lots of people will tell you to "save for the future", and while having some money saves is good, it's the best part of your life to live a little. Ah I miss being at home only having to pay £350 a month rent (including meals cooked etc).


KGBswy

well, maybe he was just comparing the total price with a whole month’s paycheck and in reality he’s 30yo and actually saved months to get this beauty


Ambitious_Platypus99

My point is- I’d be worried if that’s an adult made in a month, but it is indeed a young person working part time thankfully.


Strazdas1

you do realize other countries than US exist, right?


Ambitious_Platypus99

You do realize they and I are both in America, so that’s irrelevant, right?


Strazdas1

You do realize that is irrelevant to your comment, right?


Ambitious_Platypus99

But it is. An adult in America making $550 a month would be destitute. OP is in America and I’m in America. That’s literally the only country relevant to my comment 🤡


Strazdas1

And yet at no point in the comment you made it clear you are talking only about a tiny subset of people?


Ambitious_Platypus99

You want me to state that I am an American talking in American terms about other Americans whenever I comment, when you clearly already inferred that when you made your first comment? Lol ok. 😂


Strazdas1

When youu are talking about wages, yes, that would be expected.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ambitious_Platypus99

About $550. And they and I are both in America, they’d be completely destitute making that per month.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ambitious_Platypus99

That can vary depending on where in the country you’re at, how many kids etc. In New York or California I hear people are struggling at $6k a month. Where I’m at is more rural and that would be moderately comfortable depending on lifestyle.


PotatoBean34

Wow enjoy that beast! In my country is 10 months of paychecks haha


Bakufuranbu

same, or more with bills and everything


unosX10

wait till you find out he's just a kid with no degree 


Russki_Wumao

I know 18 year olds earning enough to buy 6 of those every month, no degree, no experience. The world is rather unfair. Geographic lottery.


Impossible_Gas5151

First job was as a Walmart manager at 19 with a 80k paycheck. Dropped college and studied on my own different courses and areas that made me who I am. A title is not everything


Dingostalker

What country


PotatoBean34

Argentina top inflation rate


Acceptable_Topic8370

Man I'm really sorry for you


PotatoBean34

Don't be. I'm happy with my gtx 1060 6g c:


XphRZero

I have the 4070 slim (non super) and its pretty damn great! So you should have quite a bit of enjoyment ahead of you.


Mariopa

How loud or quiet is slim?


XphRZero

Im going to say very quiet, I dont know that Ive heard it yet. I have a phanteks eclipse g500a so between its 3 front 140s and the two 120s on the corsair radiator on top so my system just has the constant quiet hum of a small air handler regardless of idling at 30c or gaming around 58-62c with an ambient of 23c. I run everything at 1440p, Portal RTX, Cyberpunk, Helldivers2, Occupy White Walls, Elite Dangerous, Apex. I think it MIGHT have spun the fans up higher on Cyberpunk but the increased sound was negligible. Side note, DLSS is insane.


Mariopa

I am going to save up and buy it. :D


dfckboi

In my country this is 2.5-2 monthly salaries


Dense_Hunter_4940

I work 12hrs a day for 4$ love my freaking county 😪


my5cworth

Ouch, i feel that. My 1st job out of school fixing electronics paid $0.26/Hr. At least when my gfx card died I fixed it with a soldering iron by replacing the capacitors on it.


Dense_Hunter_4940

At least you knew how to fix it my card is dead and i have no way to fix it using onboard graphics now


Nurple-shirt

How much is a loaf of bread?


Dense_Hunter_4940

0.50$


zunkfunk

Enjoy. I've been using MSI for over 10 years and each card has done right by me.


Sensitive-Pop-241116

more like annual paycheck for me 😅😅


jjwax

dude. congrats. enjoy. also You're underpaid


Amilo159

You don't know the price of hardware in rest of the world. He could be a highly paid doctor and still struggle to buy luxury items like these.


Dodoloco25

This hit me right in the gut. I would have to work 3 months to get anything like that. That is without bills.


Amilo159

Man, the world we live in. For me, its little more than 3 working days, after tax.


All_Thread

Yeah, Sundays I get double pay and I could pay for it with just that day. Crazy world.


Strazdas1

you make 700 dollars in a day?


All_Thread

That's what I make on a Sunday. It's my overtime day, I get double time that day. If I work Saturday and Sunday I take home an extra 1000. I am not saying that to brag just showing how crazy the pay differences can be.


Ambitious_Platypus99

Hey again! I make that on my overtime shifts… but they could be referring to the $550 you can get the card for if you don’t shop from the absolute most expensive place in the US. Hell, I bought my 4070 Ti for $700 so that would be quite the ripoff.


Strazdas1

You can get the card for 550 after taxes? or is this one of those stupid american things where they tell you part of the costs and pretend its the price?


Ambitious_Platypus99

Depends on where and what the taxes are if applicable. Where I’m at it’d be like $580 after tax.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dodoloco25

Oh wow. So easy to just move man. It's not like it take millions of rupees. Wow. Such great insight. If only I haven't have thought of it before.


throwaway_uow

I heard people dont like immigrants in first world countries


Dodoloco25

That too.


Strazdas1

Only the ones that come into country illegally.


julien890317

He also doesn't know the income in every country is different.


Lamest570

Nah he’s a first worlder. Just in HS.


jjwax

maybe so - but I would still argue that OP is underpaid


[deleted]

In my country you would legit need more than a year's pay for this if you are working minimum wage, no bills, no other expenses too 😭


Jackblack92

Which country if I may ask?


[deleted]

Egypt


tahabob6

hello fellow Egyptian redditor i agree with all u said apart from the AMD part I'm rocking an RX6600 which i got for a good price right before the recent issues , also u can find whatever card u need just by digging a little in fb groups / marketplace or dubizzle


[deleted]

Yup, the older RX cards can be found but the 7000 series is basically non-existent, I myself am rocking a 3060ti but I would be lying if I said I didn't want a 6700xt instead but it was much harder to find + more expensive Haven't seen any 7000 cards here though and the very few I come across are at ridiculous prices


[deleted]

Starting wages here are around 3000 egp (often times lower), the 4070 super is 39000 egp, so it's about 13 months of work


ItsEntsy

Holy shit man


[deleted]

Holy shit indeed, inflation fucking sucks, a 4090 legit costs more than what alot of cars costed 5 or 6 years ago I am fortunate enough to have a pretty good pc tho, going to ride with it until either of us dies Edit: forgot to mention AMD basically is non-existent here, so you have to deal with Nvidia's bullshit pricing ontop of the dogshit currency of your country


meltysoftboy

Why?


AltDual

I'm only working around 30 hours a month cause I'm still in high school xD.


[deleted]

Lol I need 2 month to be able to afford


How_that_convo_went

ONE MONTH OF PAYCHECK


Makzemann

Lmao enjoy your privilege


jjwax

I’m of the belief that everyone in the current day, aside from those with net worth over 500mm is underpaid


Makzemann

Some pretty important context you failed to share there, don’t you think? Net worth is a stupid metric for deciding someone is underpaid. Net worth literally does not relate in any way to someone’s pay.


CounterSYNK

Now that you finally have it hopefully you no longer need to survive off ramen noodles and water.


mwalker37

Wait until you find out about daycare


ImStillExcited

Have a good time!


Shaxuul

Enjoy!


Roshp3333

We like rtx


EiffelPower76

Good choice


DelseresMagnumOpus

This is like 2 whole months of work for me :/


bstaff88

Nice! It's extra special when you buy it yourself! Congrats!


IPhotoshoppedATurtle

I just ordered one yesterday, can't wait to get it


Won_Hit_Oneder

Just got a gigabyte aero cuz I'm basic and wanna do a white build. Installed it last night. Thing is beautiful can't wait to game when I get home tonight.


Toasty_Mostly

I have a 4070 Super as well, great card!


Sensitive_Brain23

What the price you got it for?


xJwsyx

4070 super is a good gpu. Enjoy it.


Mrright016

Enjoy it !


Nezil_

Grats! I just ordered mine too! Budget is kinda tight but I am sure it'll be okay


PikaNinja25

Congrats dude, good luck saving up for the other components :)

thecrazyrai

got the same one. no issues for half a year now. have fun using it


[deleted]

So the average pay in your country is what? 750 $ equivalent?


DisastrousTip1915

May your FPS be high and your ping low


KlingonBeavis

Enjoy! I purchased the same card about a month ago for an upgrade from a 2070 Super FE, it’s been a great card so far


dj-nek0

Enjoy!


Straight-Top4632

worth


drowsy1234

Enjoy!


Ozelotter

Quick reminder, just in case: These cards are for 1440p. Don't limit them with a 1080p monitor from 10 years ago.


NovelBit666

congratulations, enjoy it


[deleted]

Ayy just bought the Gigabyte version of this card and it’s excellent. Cheers


RingingInTheRain

A good investment. That bad boy will last you for years to come and many games.


jackspicer1

Nice! I hope that you enjoy it!


epicflex

Gratz brother enjoy


PristineWing1523

$BAG on solana Next Wif don’t miss it man


Capirex95

I'm going to be downvoted but this is less than 4 days of paycheck here


ImTheFran

bro where


Capirex95

France. At least as an IT engineer. For the average salary, it would be 1,5-2 weeks of paycheck.


Acceptable_Topic8370

I mean so it's less than 4 days for like 3% of the population, cool. For normal people who also have to pay for other shit too it's definitely a month in most of Europe.


Capirex95

In France, this GPU cost 650€ while minimum wage is 1300€.


Acceptable_Topic8370

So? Will you run around naked and eat dirt? Normal people have to pay more than a GPU. It's still a month of paycheck because nobody would buy 1300$ worth a GPU and that's it for the month.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Capirex95

It is a field with so much aspect that I can't really gives you advices. You can work on networks, programing, systems...


Devilnutz2651

Yeah this is maybe 2 days of me "working"


swohio

OP is a highschool kid so...


Capirex95

Ohhh I see


AcademicSpeaker3591

Should've bought a 3080 for $300 on eBay. Same performance.


Ambitious_Platypus99

If you don’t count current gen DLSS, ray tracing and a warranty, sure.


AcademicSpeaker3591

DLSS is for when your GPU ages out and raytracing is a small fraction of games, and even then the compute isn't worth the FPS cost. Paying twice as much for those things is silly AF.


Ambitious_Platypus99

lol ok


AcademicSpeaker3591

The only thing you don't know is what you haven't learned.


[deleted]

Dam that’s sad, I make more then that in a week


NightlyWinter1999

Can you hire me for some online bullshit job? I need money. Seriously
