I'm going into college next year. I'm having trouble finding a job. I don't even own a credit card. Money is not sprouting out of my ears, and I'm tired of having to justify myself by spending all my money just to be a part of fandom. Fandom is important to us all, obviously, and I'm not going to give it all up just because I can't purchase everything.

I would if I could. But I can't.
