Man, looked at my bank statement many years ago and noticed several little charges. A few cents here and a few cents there. The biggest one was maybe .80 cents.

My son had fallen for some scam ran by a YouTuber and was buying and trading skins.

I will say though, now that time has passed, some of those skins are worth insane amounts of money. I’d sell them if I wasn’t so stupid sentimental.

My son got in trouble for doing that, but it still takes me back to a pleasant time when I look at the inventory.

That’s partly because the kids that entered after yours lost a lot of money, and partly because some people gambled a lot, got addicted, and lost a ton of cash.

  Oh it wasn’t a small amount by the end of it. He’s a smart boy and he learned right then what that was all about. He won’t even buy a lottery ticket as an adult.

    Nice then, I was just worried about some hijacking of the subject by you saying « yes, but we made money! » :)
    
    Good thing you can get something (more) out of it now then! Yea it’s difficult to sell those, I can relate
