I've had this discussion with friends before; thought I'd post it. My idea of a low-maintenance, low-stress life involves 3 things:
1. Buy a Mac
2. Lease a Saturn
3. Own a Condo
There are other factors, obviously, but those are the primary hardware components. Computers are one of the most frustrating things to deal with on a daily basis; OS X really takes the hassle out of that. Cars are another big headache; leasing takes away that hassle too. Saturn is a great company to deal with because there's no haggling involved, which translates to zero sales pressure. They are the best car company I have ever dealt with! Their customer service combined with leasing has just been a spectacular car experience for me. Third is a place to live. Apartments and houses have many issues; condos are a nice combination of both. Combine them all together and you have a cakewalk lined up for you. I just thought I'd share my thoughts on that.
Yours?
