How much money, roughly, would you say you spend on this game monthly?

If I had that much money to spend on that, I'd be spending it elsewhere. I love this game, but not THAT much.

What you have to remember is that Vawn spends money on this game in Pounds. And when you spend, say $55, and it comes to less than £30, somehow it doesn't seem so bad...

Who's this Vern character? And why does he waste all his money on this game?

He must be living in a cardboard box eating spaghetti hoops......

LOL

I have a ton of excel documents that track all my players. So I have their development mapped out until level 40. So it doesn't take very long at all.

Well I see it as an investment. When a player eventually retires, you still get 70% of the flex back. So I'm testing loads of different builds to see which ones are more effective than others.

It is not an expensive as you might think, if you buy flex in bulk. Plus I do have other pursuits but as I don't drink or smoke. It is a bit easier for me.

That being said I do understand peoples surprise when they see my profile. I would think exactly the same if I was them.

Would $1,000 per month be a fair assessment? I'm not judging you, but just trying to figure out how much boosting all those players costs.

Hell no. Even I wouldn't spend that much!!

edit: Remember you get a discount if you buy flex in bulk. I would say it might be more like $250. Which is like £130 for me. £130 is two good friday nights out in London.

Consider the fact that a McDonalds happy meal is £3.88 in the UK, which would translate to over $7. It might put it in to perspective.

Dang! If I ever get to London, I'm inviting Vawn out to party with me! $250 is a whole years worth of partying for me!

its not really an investment though since you can't cash FPs in for money
