they should legally require cell phones can only make and receive phone calls and only if the phone isn't moving, they could cut traffic accidents way down.

when ya think about it, crushing debt is really not that big of a deal. creditors conned society into thinking it was to scare them into quick repayment. if it's manageable, good to pay it off. if it isn't, run it high as you can and file bankruptcy. you won't be able to buy a new car or a good house ever, but you wouldn't be able to anyway if you were paying off unmanageable debt. and if you have debt that you can't discharge (student loans, child support, back taxes), well, they can only garnish a reasonable percentage of your wages anyway.

Awful waste of money. Why do ppl these days always feel the need to get the latest iStuff? There is barely any difference between the very first iPhone and the latest model. A touch screen phone with internet... WOW!



You shouldn't be able to complain about the economy or your own personal financial situation if you blow your money on trivial Apple crap.



Many American have a steak taste on a hamburger budget . That's part of the problem we now face from a long time ago. Barrow to the max and then whine about now having enough money . Nice house , car or truck and boat. Can you afford them or does it really matter at this period of time?



I'm just gonna make smart decisions with my money so I don't end up with an empty bank account:



1) Paying off my debts as they come to me. Never holding a credit card balance longer than a month. If this means living in a small studio apartment and eating ramen, rice, and beans, so be it.



2) I will always buy small, fuel efficient and durable cars. I drive a 2006 Honda Civic now. It costs me nothing to fill up and next to nothing to insure ($25/month from Insurance Panda… woohoo!). I will not drive when I don’t need to, and use public transportation whenever possible.



3) Developing multiple revenue streams. Doing side jobs. Building up small businesses. Doing contract work. Basically doing whatever I can to generate income from multiple sources.



4) Grow my revenue and assets no matter what. Make sure I am always expanding and develop them to the point that they consistently generate reliable cash flow.



5) The most important one - make as much as I can. Save as much as I can.



iPhones... ecigarettes... Starbucks... Chipotle Burritos...new clothes.. organic lipgloss... expensive yoga classes. Why not try living in your means for once? No wonder we have a debt crisis.

Lol, this same argument rages every year, and it just keeps getting more insane. "Grr..Apple R bestest cuz look how many buy even when it not out" "Argh...Apple morons stupit cuz Apple stupit and lines are stupit" and other such rot. Look, I don't quite understand why anyone waits in any of these day one release lines for anything. I don't get it for video games, phones, music cds(people still buys those right?) or any other thing people line up more than an hour in advance of. Heck, I don't understand people who wait more than a hour for an amusement park ride.



Simple answers are simple, Apple only releases once a year, and if you want the new Apple whatever on the first day that badly then I guess you'll wait. As for the actual line waiting you're daft. I mean hey, if having the new iPhone on day one is that important to you be my guest, but I'd have to question your priorities. Not because it's an iPhone, but because it's just another smartphone.



As for all the fanboy fapping, grow up guys, you might as well be arguing Coke v Pepsi. Apple guys want Apple, Android guys want Android and the guys on the fence won't change their minds based off of your infantile drivel.

This is really funny if you read it in Hank Hill's voice.

(I work in the call center for a national fast food restaurant. We don’t accept ideas about new or modified products from guests, and we especially don’t pay for them. Any time a guest starts to give a suggestion, we have to read them a legal statement to that effect.)

Caller: “I wanted to tell you that I love your turkey burgers, but I really think you should start serving them on gluten-free—”

Me: *interrupting* “Ma’am, I’m sorry, but I do have something I need to read you real quickly.”

(I then read the legal statement stating that we can’t accept her idea, and won’t pay for it.)

Caller: *long pause* “Well, I don’t know what that means, but it doesn’t sound very nice, so I’m going to hang up on you.”

(And she did!)

I had to discreetly comfort one of my students today. They happened to see the story and a picture of the shirt in question while they were checking their phone before class. They started to hyperventilate and shake, and I had to take them into a quiet and empty area to see if they were OK. This student, who I will not name for obvious reasons, has PTSD and had been triggered by the image.

I knew lots of people who ran out and bought cars they couldn't afford, like BMW etc, when I went to grad school for half the cost.

Their cars are aging now and aren't the latest model, and they are cursing life as I cruuuuuuise around town, holding my two diplomas over my head in a feable attempt to stday dry

"Reasonable" is 25% in some states. They can also directly pull money from your bank account with a court order!
