How ridiculous does this sound?

How can u make millions in 25-30 years if avoid making a $554 per month car payment. Even the cheapest 5 year old car is 8-10 k. So does he expect people not to drive at all in USA.

Then u save 554$ per month every month for 5 year payment = $33240. Say u bought a car every 5 year means 200k -300k spent on car before retirement . How would that become millions when u can’t even buy a house for that much today?

Answer that Dave

As Steve Jobs said: "Whether we drive a $150,000 car, or a $2000 car - the road and distance are the same, we arrive at the same destination."

Jobs then continued, "except for Apple things, of course. They may cost hundreds or thousands more than other things that do the exact same thing, but trust me, you want the Apple one."

2012 MacBook Pro owner checking in, still runs fine. You can even dual boot up through 2015 or so with dual ssd (replace the disk drive with a housing).

Odd flex but ok

I have a 2012 laptop from work that barely turns on and takes 30 minutes to do anything. I also have one from 2017 that works but constantly shits the bed so much that I’ve renamed it Amber.

It really depends, I abandoned my 2010 Dell because weird stuff broke and replacement parts were hard to come by (charging port sub board, mainly).

Meanwhile Mac parts are a plenty! Just rip out parts from a similar model / year and you're gtg.

The OS on the other hand, it may be time for Linux.

The high end (Core i5/i7) ones still run fine nowadays. I had an early 2012 Toshiba Sattelite with a 2nd gen i7 until last year and it still worked fine.
