I’m doing this schedule (11pm, 8 am, 4pm) so RL disruptions are less. And I use a remote desktop to get into my home machine if I am away from home (and I’m on a mac). Just use a trial version of “LogMeIn” or something.
I overpaid for Boosters (average 400m) when I bought my first 30-40 and ended up losing about 25 Billion 
… but since I expected to pay 2 billion per it is bittersweet. Since I thought I could only afford doing 1 or 2 characters, not I’m going to do 4.
So yeah, I’m fully committed to making this “snow pact” on top of the mountain. When drought hits I’ll be ready.
Bonus - the boosters are cheap, so rearranging alts to optimize skills is great! AND if you bought bad characters off the bazaar, you could change them into focused characters to sell back.
