I was not raised in a rich/stable life.
All of our past life were small, rusting and fairly affordable house (back then in the 90s/2000s) one of them being an apartment. But regardless, I was well fed, we had an computer, but we didn't had the internet until 2002 So, I had to stick with educational computer games (which was fun for me) and and if we want a little more entertainment; we even had video games console that even I was surprised we had and played, the big names I can remember playing was Saga Saturn, Game cube and Nintendo Wii. Sadly my mom and dad gave those console away to the prawn and goodwill (but its my mission get those console back including the console I've always wanted with my own money!)
My dad had alot of boxs of comic books in his garage and introduced me the cool, tensed, edgy and awesome world of Comics.
But unlike with Video Games and Comics; Anime was a different story, I had no merchandise at all; it was my father again who had all the anime DVDs, CDs and books (Only half percent of them DVDs were Bootleg) and Toy/Figures.
Meanwhile in the 2003 I was already dreaming my ultimate Cozy Otaku/Woman Cave with my own drawn illustration and a PACKED List of Anime DVD/Manga I've always wanted, but the real reason I really wanted my own Cave: is when I saw an blog post online about the difference Otaku/Anime fans rooms with different settings and designs with photos online showing off there Collections, But alas if I wanted to make that happen I had to take my time, Save ALOT of money and be patience.
As of right now, I have a fair good amount of DVD, CD, Anime Figures and other stuff and if I really Think back; I'm thank full for mother and father for raising me right and loving me good enough on the roof under our head to keep on living, even if it was raining inside some times from the hard times, I've grown to bring an umbrella along the road.
So, as of right now: Take your time with your money and yourself and stay Golden
