So if you add the price of all of those up they would easily come to the price you are paying for the latest phones.

I guess it is all about perspective.

Shit I spend $515 a month on coffee.

But I have absolutely no bills of any kind. No debt. House paid off. Car paid off. My biggest expense is property taxes and insurance which have also gotten outta control.
