Is That iPad 2 Really Worth $2,000?
- WA 16y agoThe author might be right about toys like the iPad that aren't really necessary, but the trip to Bali for 5000$ feels way different at the age of 35 than 65 (that's at least what I assume). Saving for retirement is one thing, but using the money to actually improve your life is an entirely different story. I experienced, whenever I spend money on things like vacation, travel etc., I never regret the money I spent. It might feel like big spendings in the very moment, but after the trip, it was totally worth it. So, if this way of thinking works for the author, great for him. Personally, I would evaluate the things I spend money on in different terms (do they give me skills, experience or memories? or is it a really useful tool?) rather than the money it could bring me in in 30 years.
