I dunno, money's not the issue - willpower is the issue!
I'm 17 and just graduated HS, going to college this fall and I'm working three jobs this summer (several part time jobs joining forces to become one mega-full time job. It all blends together after awhile 😱 ), earning about $450 a week, but I just can't bring myself to spend the cash on upgrades!!
I saved up and worked over the last 4 years and the odd birthday/christmas check from grandparents never hurt, so now I have a lurverly 17" Rosewill LCD, a decent computer, awesome 5.1 Altec Lansing speakers, a decent printer, and a mouse and keyboard that I cannibalized from a friends new HP (they had their own, don't worry). I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my 2+ year old Dell dimension 4550, replacing 256 MB of RAM with a gig ($80 at Best Buy), which is awesome, I just can't justify getting anything else!
Beyond the Macbook i'm going to pick up, and MAYBE the RAM and Harddrive upgrades I'll get, nothing's on the financial agenda...
