5 For $5000+
As much as I didn’t think it was going to happen, I hit $1000 from my birthday and Christmas yesterday when my aunt gave me $60. Even more surprising, my count is at $1000 and I haven’t counted any of the money that another one of my aunts gave me (some of it is in change, don’t ask, and I’m going to run it through a coin counter machine). That should be about another $100, so even with the modified system in our family of giving gifts to each other this year, I still got just as much money as I have been (only fewer presents, which arguably I never really used anyway).
I think I’ve made my decision to skip actually beating Kingdom Hearts and just move onto Chain of Memories. I’ll probably do the same with FFX if I can’t beat the final boss in another try or two. I just don’t have the time to go back and level up when there are so many other games I have which are unplayed. This means I’ll work on finishing up FFT by the end of the week and then move onto FFXII.
