Look at me being frugal!
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010Check out the new car I bought with money I’m supposed to be living on (this is not the actual car of course, but at least the same model & color)
After I paid for it the finance person explained that I would have been better off taking out a loan and paying it off in installments, and everything she said seemed to make perfect sense… but now I can’t quite get the logic right– I’m going to have to work it out myself at some point.
And my second big purchase, but at least more justifiable given my profession, the 27″ iMac with Core i5 (nice chip naming Intel, you suck-up)
As nice as the machine is (and it is very nice) I do have a bit of a problem with Apple’s weird choice of wireless keyboard as standard now. Note the lack of numeric keypad and standard cursor keys– is Apple trying to kill the Home, End and Delete keys altogether rather than just admit they have been totally wrong all these years about the way they should function? That’s my theory…
