I will probably be spending a little more than $400 on a new computer soon. But this is a decision that has been 7 years in the making, and has only come about because less and less programs will work efficiently on my existing computer. Whereas, I know young people who probably don't have a twentieth of the money my wife and I do, (seriously!) driving 2015 and 2016 cars, buying brand new $500 cell phones for each of them... including children, twice a year, drinking Starbucks every day of the year, and trying to pay for the latest 50" curved-screen TV, and buy a new house on top of that.
