It's not really a hobby because it's just making her angry, and the tax burden isn't really a worry at the moment because she isn't making money.
It's more about personal validation rather than wanting to contribute. She's jealous of other people's success, including my dad and her friend who made a lot of money flipping her dead mom's stuff. She just has a weird attitude in money in general. We were hit hard during the Great Recession, but she refused to dip into her "emergency fund" (i.e., what she'd use to run away from my dad) and just left it rotting in a local bank with a horrific interest rate.

No shit. Of course, I can't talk too much because I'm now a MSFT baggie due to not following my gut and selling for a small profit yesterday.

My dad actually built his wealth through his small business, which is why she thinks she can do it as well.

Nope, but I wish I could. That's part of why I'm stepping up my Love Quest™

trvthnvke time: Fire Emblem changing artists every few games is actually part of what has helped its longevity and helped it last longer than its contemporaries. Each new style has its own appeal and thus attracts different types of people each time. Bringing in a steady flow of new fans to the series. Even when old fans don't like one specific style, that style is never permanent anyway so this hurts FE a lot less than anti-Engage people would have you think. FE survived DSFE's unanimously agreed upon ugly artstyle and the change is precisely part of why Awakening succeeded so much.

After generations of success, the bloodline may very well end with a retard who posts anime girls on a Mongolian basket weaving forum.
