I'm a year one player, but was a little late with starting in October. Money has always been tight, especially with me about to start college in a few weeks. My mom is the only worker, because my dad is legally blind (Retinitis pigmentosa). A family with one job that only pays $49K a year: not enough. I'm lucky enough to own game systems because my friends know my situation and when they upgrade their systems to the new gen, they gave me their old ones, and the games with it.
Edited to add more info added because I'm back at home now with wifi
