I spent thousands on music before you could buy it digitally. Paying for it a second time or paying a monthly rental fee just seems stupid to me.

Meanwhile, my son, who owns no music, is all in with streaming. $4.99 a month for Spotify1 is worth it for him. While that's closer to the correct price, it's still too expensive IMO.


  1. Student discounted price

and people wonder why piracy is still a thing. At least make the prices fair and consistent.

that's probably a better handset. Though Ting's data pricing could be a lot better.

I still have my 5s. Has kind of a messed up screen, but it still works. May hand it down to my son when I get my next iPhone.

a Refurbished Alcatel ONETOUCH Flint [cricketwireless.com]. It had decent reviews and at $20, it was hard to pass up.

there are rumors [techradar.com] at least. Main reason is cost.

Seriously getting the next iPhone SE versus the next larger iPhone (whether it's a 7/7s or 8).

I ordered yet another cheap Android device. I think I might have a problem.

I know the feeling, trust me. It helps in my situation that I don't have to go into the office very much, which reduces the amount of bullcrap I have to deal with.

you can't control what people do, but you can control how you react to it.
