Seems I'll be missing this upcoming Vargus game.

I've not missed a Vargus game in over 4 years.  Not one.  And I now must miss this one.  Why, you ask?  Illness?  Kids' functions?  Anything?

No.  Money.  See, when I ask the wife for my "allowance" (which I'm supposed to get every two weeks, and I save up for things I want from that - yeah, it's like being in Junior fucking High School), because, well I've had exactly $1 in my wallet for the past 9 days - I got the "have you seen how many bills we can't pay" speech.  Then I slipped and mentioned that I can't exactly go to a NERO event on $1 in cash.  Then it was "recommended" that I stay home and not go.

You know the tone, lads, you know the tone.  The tone of "go, and your balls will adorn my rear-view mirror".

She's worried about financials constantly, and I feel like a failure because I can't seem to provide what my family needs.

So, without going into the gory details fully, I'm not going to Vargus, because once again the one who works the hardest must sacrifice one of the things he loves to do for the good of the family unit.  It's great to be me.
