This isn't a "protest" kind of topic or anything but I actually had the balls to look at my bank statement and let's just say since Fifa came out the amount of Paypal receipts (I use PayPal with Xbox) I have in my bank statement is alarming. The promo packs are just so enticing :D

    Up and down, as you'd expect. But the possibility of getting something really good is what kept me going :D

    Not surprised one bit

    Gambling and packs are one in the same

    Exactly, I'm playing 30 games of WL pretty much every weekend which automatically gets me rank 3 in Division Rivals. Rinse, repeat

    I know. I always just justify it with the fact that I have a job with steady income. But I really wish to move out with my girlfriend sometime soon and I will have no problem paying for rent but my priorities should be straight before I move out.

    I've packed some decent stuff but nothing really makes me feel like my money was worth it. Pretty sure my best pull this year was Kante from MM pack or something like that. I've never justified the money spent but I always feel like next time will be my time. I tried to set myself a "budget" but I wasn't disciplined enough to stick to it.

    When I lived at home with the parents I spent a fortune, last 2 FIFA’s I’ve lived with my GF and not spent over £10 the whole of fifa. It’s been the richest I’ve ever been in fifa....

    Exactly. I'm not paying rent currently but I've been saving. But it's just a bad habit to begin with, so I'm glad I'm trying to kick it. Plus I'll have more girlfriend money and fun time money.

    I went through and I believe on Fifa Points alone I've spent around $340 so far. That doesn't seem like enough but at the same time seems like too much.

    Yeah, don't do it. I'm into the multi-hundreds. Certainly over £500 now. That's me done. Like you say, it's the excitement of opening the packs. Then you get nothing, swear you won't open any more. Promo packs come up. Ahh just one more set of points... :s

    Mine is roughly $340 give or take but I'm not sure if I missed some. My problem is I don't go all out every once in awhile, I just do some points here, some there, $20 today, $20 tomorrow, ya know

    Same. But I started with around £240 already loaded for FP. And like you, £15 here or there weekly or when promo's are up.

    It's a lot for me. This is the first or second Fifa I've been gainfully employed without having college expenses :D
