>Teen males are expected to spend a significant chunk (13%) of their money on video games this year, according to Piper Jaffray's latest teen survey. In fact, the only two categories they will spend more money on are food (20%) and clothes (15%).
>The Taking Stock With Teens survey got input from approximately 6,500 teens with an average age of 16.5 years. It asked them about brands, trends, and spending patterns.
>Video games are expected to take up approximately 13% of spending budgets for teen males, edging out other things such as electronics and cars. Further, the average spending on video games is expected to climb to $214 per year, up from an 11-year average of $152, or a 41% increase. Piper Jaffray noted this was an all-time high in the survey's history.

> spending 13% of your income on vidya
No wonder Americans are so poor
>>335038681
How much will girls spend? Seeing as they're more than 50% of the gaming community I'd expect there spending percentage to be higher that the boys, right?
>>335038681
>13% of a teen males money is a lot
So what, 13% of $5 a week is... $33.80 a year?

>buying games
When I was a teen my money either came from mom or my GF, and it went into clothes and video games. My GF was 15 when I was 16, and she had a job part time was a receptionist at a hospital, and she's spend her paychecks on me except for her phone (no cell phones, having own line was expensive). I would ask her if there was anything else she'd rather spend her money on and she would say no, and that making me happy made her feel happy.
For a lot of young men, where there is a will there is a way, even if that way is through other people.
>survey
usually means shit though
>>335038681
I already spend more than 214 dollaz...wait...I ain't a teen anymore, still a poorfuck. It sure doesn't seem to be much for videogames in a year regardless.

I hate the word Teen
I hate its ugly plural sister, Teens
Why do only american news people say this word?
Just say teenagers, or students, or fuck I don't know.
Why.
>>335039236
I worked on sunday mornings for 4 hours and wednesday nights for 4 hours washing dishes as a teenager
$80/week was a decent chunk of change to buy shit as a teenager and it was barely any time out of the week at all.
>>335039968
Because you can convey the same meaning with less letters.
>>335039446
>implying that a large portion of /v/ has been in a relationship

So you're a bum for getting the recommended healthy amount of sleep?
https://sleepfoundation.org/media-center/press-release/national-sleep-foundation-recommends-new-sleep-times
56 hours for sleep, 7 hours for school, your job for minimum wage is probably going to expect 25 hours a week for part time, we're talking about getting MAYBE about 5 hours a day to do other things and that is ignoring all forms of scheduling and assuming that you go immediately from sleep to school to work. In reality you're probably going to wake up and get ready for school, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, so you can knock off another hour or two right there, then chances are your job doesn't take place 15 minutes after you get out of school, so you're probably going to go home and get into whatever work clothes and then go to work, so take off another hour.
Boy, just have TONS of time to do all of the things you want to do.
