lmao hunny if you need help paying your bills, you really dont need a 200 dollar phone bill every month
anywaysss, i wasnt the one who said "classic"
ps. my self esteem is just fine, but thanks for the diagnosis dr phil
hah.. see, there you go judging people whom you know NOTHING about. What about the fact that an iphone will NEVER cost $200 a month!! Secondly, how do you know that my iphone is not a company phone?
because im me?
i never said they werent ALLOWED to have one..its just annoying
i love how my opinion has such an effect on ya
sorry that the opinion of an absolute stranger bugs you so much
you must be one of the people we are refering to
hardly, i dont have an iphone
but for you to think that other people shouldnt have one and only you, a young hipster, should is ridiculous
its not your specific opinion that annoys me. it just makes me loose more faith in humanity as a whole.. there are people out there who ARE going to agree with you, which is what is ultimately the saddest thing.
because iphones dont support most of the stuff that companies use
and you said u and yr husband both have iphones..thats easily over 150 a month
unless, your ~savin' 2 pay da rent~ by not using data .. which is probably quite likely from all the background info youve volunteered
actually, we DONT have rent, we have a mortgage - what about you. Are you a home owner.
Also, he is on the business plan as well..a nd just because the iphone's enterprise is not out yet does not mean that ALL businesses are going to decide NOT to use an iphone. So what now??
Theres just ONE reason NOT to judge people on what you see ONCE

well see the thing about opinions is
EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN
and if you get so bothered by someone who thinks differently then you do, well then be prepared to declare war on planet earth
also, some people who dont have all nice things arent also "poor" just because we buy second hand and save money to pay bills doesnt mean we dont HAVE money. We actaully would like to RETIRE at some point.. how much money do you have in your 401 K or IRA?
valleyfair? im guessing california native arent you? sorry if i sound a little invading into your privacy, i line in california too. but yea, i definitely feel some people dont deserve iphones and apple stuff. one dude at my school has a iphone 3g and also made his rich dad wait until midnight for the original iphone because he wanted to show it off. hes dumb as a post, just a rich spoiled brat, while i earn all my money (xcept macbook) for my tech stuff.
dude i totally feel the same way. the iphone is a LUXURY phone, not a freakin sidekick
people are like skipping out on theyre rent JUST so they can say they have an "iphone" its rediculous
it takes the fun out of having a top of the line phone when ghetto looking people have one also
it may be shallow but
I LIKE BEING ENVIED
i almost wish they wouldnt of dropped the price..
i hear about so many old ass guys buying one, well thats okay..but since its so cheap they go and get one for their wife too!??!
like wtf, since when do old ladies/wives need iphones, they should be driving to soccer practice or something
and dont even get me started on kids under 18
imo, the iphone is for the hip young modern individual
I'm 15. I have an iPhone. I don't pay the bill, my parents want me to have a phone, I got the iPhone for Christmas and I bought my iMac with money I earned this summer. What would you say to that?
There's nothing wrong with people buying an iPhone. It's a PHONE for goodness sakes! Who cares who else has one and who's paying for it.
I'm sometimes ashamed to be an Apple user from the attitudes of some people, you're making the rest of us look bad!
well see the thing about opinions is
EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN
and if you get so bothered by someone who thinks differently then you do, well then be prepared to declare war on planet earth
and i will say thinking you are better than everyone else is just sad as what makes you sooooo special
seriously
i bet your dad bought your iphone and of course you will counter with the "i pay for everything and rose myself from poverty to riches" scenario lol
well NOW, the point still remains
you can barely afford to pay for your living expenses, yet you AND your husband are splurging on two cell phones you can barely afford
and yet youre trying to prove ME WRONG?
youre just upset, because this post is talking about you
and no i dont own anything, im a 20 year old student..
it takes away the "WOW" factor when little 15 year olds are totin it around town
just my 2 cents
how do you know they cant afford anything? i make quite a bit and i still hold onto an 18 year old car.....
That's the same thing I was thinking. I never once thought about any of this when buying my iPhone or seeing somebody else use one.
if youre trying to save money, a iphone isnt a very wise decision
get yourself a razr sweetie
no i paid for it lol
im not claiming to be rich or poor. i just know i am financially stable enough to afford it
Well you may as well sell it now. The first weekend when Apple announced one million iPhones were sold, that should have told you how it was gonna be. I personally think it's great that everyone can now have one of these amazing phones. They can see what I have been able to enjoy for over a year now. When I was in line, there was a mom with her young teenage kids and she was buying them all phones as well.
Oh, I'm also a homeowner, have two new vehicles, newly landscaped yard and I have two iPhones all for my usage and I don't fit yours or the other persons profiles of who should own an iPhone.
If you use a phone to make yourself feel unique, eh, whatever. Use a phone because it makes your life easier, not because it gives you an elitist feeling.
did you not hear me?? I said that the phones are through the business that we BOTH work for that is actually owned by myself and my mom. I CAN pay my bills and STILL afford to create a rather substantial portfolio for mine and my husbands retirement, and i'm 26. What about you? How much money do you put into your IRA account monthly? What, NONE? do you even know what an IRA is?
Spending wisely and budgeting is smarter than just spending what you have. And even if i DID pay for my phone, what would that say about me? I can still pay my bills, i can still feed myself and my animals, all i had to do was save up a little by cutting back on other things.
Even people who struggle financially are still entitled to getting themselves little gifts. Its what keeps you SANE! The ONLY time i would EVER judge someone who had a NICE gadget when they had to scrounge for money was if they were on welfare or owed people money and spent it on luxury items.
If you can pay for your bills on time and feed yourself and kids (if you have them) then there is NO REASON not to slurge.) seriously. My parents were VERY VERY low income growing up. They worked a lot to be able to feed us and keep a roof over our heads. As a kid, i NEVER knew that we didnt have much money. My parents would say "you cant have a happy meal, theyre too expensive" but it never clicked that they really were TOO EXPENSIVE.. ya know WHY i never knew, because my parents spent money SMART> they still were able to buy me and my brother and sister the fun new toy, and they still got their own little toys... and they never missed their mortgage
