Had a little trouble following that whole story to discover the moral. Honestly I am happier with the phone I bought on sale for $30 then the iPhone I had up until it needed to update and now somehow its my fault that the $500 POS that Indont intend on making anymore payment on, shit itself. My TV I paid about 25 for on a penny auction and I would never buy a car that isnt used. So I guess Im on the right track to becoming a millionare in some ways? I do have quite a bit of college debt though and im only about half way to a degree. However I dont want to "stop dreaming and get a real job"... Who wants to work for someone else their whole life and be a slave to the wage clock? Certainly not me so even if the stock market doesnt help me achieve financial independence Im sure one of my business plans eventually will.
