Why I somewhat love being a premmie.
I upgraded my TH from 7 to 8 and when I farmed and got the lab upgrading, I almost fainted seeing the cost of the level 5 troops. And then, I took in as a challenge and started farming a LOT for the troops. And the walls, I'll do that later but might go up a range (Like from silver 1 to gold 2 or something) That is why I love being a premmie. Feel free to tell your opinion in the replies!
Why I love getting a near-max base before upgrading my TH
I upgraded my TH from 6 to 7 and when I already had the elixir to upgrade my lab, I almost fainted seeing the affordability of my level 4 troops. And then, I took in as a challenge and started farming a LOT against the easy TH6 and TH7 bases to ensure my storages were always full and I never had to wait between upgrades. And the walls, I'll do that right now (Like the trophy range doesn't even matter. I'm pushing in Crystal and yet I'll still be able to get 10 more purple walls between my next BK upgrades). That is why I love waiting before upgrading the TH.
