I would agree 
But my wife manages doctors for a living, she does not agree.
So we do a mix of outdoor fun and fancy life.
I will take any bullet for my wife.

That is the trade off, there arenāt many jobs that pay anything here. (I am retired)
Gotta be where there is population if you want to make money imo.

Completely.
But we are looking to retire somewhere out in the middle of nowhere.
My wife has been looking at large plots of land.
She was showing me stuff in 150 acres size the other day.
It sounds awesome but Iām getting old fast. Sounds like a lot of work.
As for going off topicā¦ 
All this rich/redneck stuff reminds me of a funny funnyā¦
For about a decade, I worked as a UPS delivery driver. Great physical work, good pay, insane benefits.
My route was in a rural part of the SouthEast of the USA for a while. Rednecks, trailer trash, Confederate flags, poor peopleā¦ And the insanely wealthy. I could name-drop, but thatād be tacky. Weāre talking heli-pads in the back yard.
Anyhooā¦
At Christmas, weād get helpers to ride along in the trucks with us. Basically, weād just use them to run the packages to the doors while we sorted the load & planned the route. One particular Christmas, I was assigned a very sweet wealthy and educated young black woman right out of college with an architecture degree. I highlight that she was black becauseā¦ you knowā¦ Confederate flags. Loose dogs. There was justification for being a little uneasy on her part.
So, we spent the first morning bouncing down mud roads, kicking at dogs, staring at flags out of the corners of our eyes and getting to know each other. I tried to comfort her considering the racist vibe she was getting from the area, but there was no denying we were knee-deep in former KKK territory.
I tried convincing her it the whole area wasnāt like that. āNew moneyā was moving in, and the old trash was being forced out. Going from dilapidated trailer to dilapidated trailer made it a hard sell.
Then, we got to the point when we had to deliver a pair of Wine Club casesā¦ as in two cases of wine from mail-order wine clubs. See, when you have money, good taste, but live in Old Milwaukeeās Best territory, you order your booze online. I turn right down another gravel driveway - this one more well kept than the others. Around a bend, we come to a large iron gate with a keypad and a phone. I lean out the door, pick up the phoneā¦
āHey, Hi, Hello! [long pause] Yeah, two cases of the good stuff today, so I need someone at the door to sign for 'em. [another pause and I wave to the camera hidden in the trees] Sweet. See ya in a second.ā
My sweet little helperās eyes betrayed her shock. WTF is this?
About a mile down a freshly asphalted drive, we come to the estate. Huge. Itās 17,000 square feet according to Zillow.com just for the main house. There are two banks of garages flanking a circular driveway. I stay off the new white concrete & keep my oil leaking big brown love machine over the cobblestones so I donāt leave obvious stains. The owner, an older white dude, comes around the corner driving a very nice mud covered side by side ATV.
āMarty told me you had a giftā¦ Oh! Hey, sweety!ā Heās smitten with my helperā¦
We spent at least a half hour there. He was a redneck. A very rich redneck. As I remember, he gave her a Christmas tip a couple of weeks laterā¦ a very nice Christmas tip. He also showed off his redneck toysā¦ custom built vintage Bronco, civil war Confederate rifle, bass boat, 4 door convertible Rolls Royce Phantom (do a search on that last one if youāre wondering what kind of money weāre talking about)ā¦
As Jeff Foxworthy used to day, you can take the redneck out of the trailer park, butā¦

This is how I feel.
My kids have never known being poor, but Iāve been there and back again and the things I learned from that time I still keep with me to this day.
Everyone has to hope for the āAmerican Dreamā or at lest hope for it for someone else. Itās what keep our country going. That āmaybe one dayā.
The phantom is a beautiful car, I always wanted one. I could afford one if it was only me and my wife, but I have to worry about taking care of 5 full grown people.
And when I say ātake care ofā I mean everything, collage, cars, going out, cell phones, place to live, food, shopping spreeās ā¦ everything. (I bought 4 cars in the last year, yeahā¦ F@$& Me, right?)
I didnāt have anything as a kid. Using cardboard to fill the hole in my shoes kind of poor.
But as long as I have the means Iāll ātake careā of all my family.

Iām not where you are financially, but weāre doing pretty freaking okay by my standards. My kids want for nothing due to financesā¦ not that they get everything. Iām a prude.
Hereās another funnyā¦
At Thanksgiving Dinner, surrounded by the whole family, my brother and I were reminiscing about Christmases past. He brought up a black and white TV we got one Christmas as THE gift.
Mind you, there was color TV when this happened. Iām not quite that old.
By THE gift, I mean we got ONE big gift at Christmas. Thereād be stuff in the stockings or whatever, but the gift was THE giftā¦ for everyone.
āI still have that old TV!ā I told him.
āNo way! Does it still work?ā he asked.
āSure does. The knobs are missing, though.ā
āDude,ā he exclaimed, āthat TV never had knobs.ā
Suddenly, something hit me Iād never realized before. No lie. This thought had never before entered my mind.
I looked at my mamma and asked, āMamma! Were we poor?ā
Likeā¦ duhā¦ THE gift at Christmas was a used black and white 11"ā¦ ELEVEN INCH TV. LOL
I had no clue because I was about 7 when that happened. We lived on top of a mountain by ourselves in a crappy ancient log home. When the water lines froze - which they would for weeks - that just meant I didnāt have to take a bath. Using the outhouse in the snow was a bit of a challenge, though. Nothing like hearing your turds spat against frozen piss. 
What could be more fun to a 7 year old kid than running around the wilderness free from all care?
I tell those stories to my kids and they look at me like Iām an alien.

Agreed. Youāre absolutely right.
I think itās really a perspective difference after playing on a new account all of April.
Man it sure is tempting to drop 10 bucks for a set of fused blockchainsā¦
Man it sure is tempting to drop 10 bucks for a 4 energy generatorā¦
Have I been able to build a full purple build in a month? Not quite. Got a blight and bit over 1,000 and 3 mini guns and unlock enough parts to be competitive for the builds I can build. (also made white shotgun set and white cannon set.
Itās not really p2w. I can completely ignore paying a thing and make a good competitive farming build in a month.
but oh man is it slow so paying for stuff is tempting

Full epic build in a month sounds about right.
I can usually grind out an epic a week, without trying or spending money. To me, thatās not that bad. New players shouldnāt be jumping straight to epics anyway, and if theyāve worked their way up to a roster of special builds, they can flip those parts to epics relatively quickly.

I really need to do this experiment myself, with a fresh account.
I can easily do this with my main. But a real free to play test would be fun.

keep in mind I split my play time.
A sub would have gained more. The battle rewards seemed tiny after a few years of scanner play.

Is there a way to get a second account going on console?
Iāve been very curious what it would be like to start over, but with the knowledge Iāve gained over the years.
Are PS accounts free?
Microsoft accounts are free and Crossout has a change profile option in game.
My kids have used these before. I have never made one for myself personally. So Iām not even 100% sure how but I feel a google search would do the trick.
So if I switched profiles to one made by my partnerās daughter, I could start a new account there?
That makes sense, I might try that. Will need to get permission to use their account, but they never use the PS4 anyway. The daughters just play their games on PC or the Switch. They think itās weird that I only play Crossout, and have no interest in it.

I was surprised to see this thread still going, at first. But, I see it has drifted way off off topic. Makes more sense now.
All you need is an email account.

I feel like our conversations are more organic and transform as they go.
We could try and make a new topic every time, but we might have to many useless topics.
For me personally, I would rather it be like this.

Seems even more practical here, considering the topicā¦maybe, I should stop mentioning it. This topic sort of needed to be derailedā¦or ārepurposed.ā

RE: mulitlple accountsā¦
There are at least 4 accessible on the PC I use. Two are fairly advanced. One is maybe at a strong Epic level. The other is a starter never really used (I think). If I had time, I could attempt to see how fast I could grind, but I have very limited time for gaming. I need one of yāall to knock that out for us. 
Yeah, farming with your main account wouldnāt be the same. Youād complete more challenges & get more resources than you would on a new one. I keep that in mind when I repeatedly say this isnāt pay to win.
