- Why take any vacations or time off? After all you can just put that into a mutual fund.
- Why enjoy any specific meals or foods? A simple, repeatable dish means you can save more money to put into your mutual fund.
- Why enjoy that movie or album? After all, that's another dollar you could be putting into your mutual fund!
All work and no play is not a way to live life either. Some folks like having the latest-and-greatest, others don't mind having the same phone for years on end. If you just boil the entire world down to money in, money out, and mutual funds you are going to have a very unsatisfying and unfulfilling life.
- sriku 6y agoFaux analogies and all they indicate is that apple marketing has won in projecting so much "luxury value" on these things. The comparison I'm drawing is what do you get out of this that you don't get out of, say, a $200 phone, that is worth paying 5-10x the price. The enjoyment ratio between a vacay and no vacay is way more and hence isn't a suitable comparison. Heck, spending $2000 on a vacation seems more worth it than the phone (to me). It's a bloody phone. You'll browse stuff with it, do email, maybe tweet and Instagram or Facebook. None of that demands that budget today. Heck it wouldn't even feel different in those apps in the way an Audi or bmw would. I use a phone that's plenty performant for all of that (and I don't insta or FB), with plenty memory (6gb) and storage (128gb) that I paid $150 for.
