Why Would You Spend Your Life Savings on a Mac?

http://www.lockergnome.com/news/2011/09/29/how-build-and-maintain-your-life-s...
A member of the LockerGnome community asked, "Would you spend your life savings on a Mac?"

Spending your life savings on any computer is a poor investment. A computer is a tool to get you where you want to do, and as such shouldn't be the basket in which all of your eggs are put. It's a computer, not a house or emergency that puts you at risk of losing your home and/or livelihood. Your life savings should be a collection of wealth made over a long period of time that you put aside for emergencies.

Should you spend your life savings on a Mac? NO! You should only buy something if you have enough disposable income to buy it. The only time you should put yourself into debt, or spend your safety net, is on something you need to survive.

That's my answer, what's yours?

What if it was for a heart transplant?

I'd say no. But if you really wanna get a mac, you have to find other sources of income to get it. If you are a graphics/web designer or a front end developer or an iOS or android developer, this shouldn't be a problem, but if you're getting a mac for the sake of having one, then there's something wrong. lol
