[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 201731, member: 3850"] That does make sense generally speaking, but you are making a couple of assumptions there... a) you'll be more productive with your new mac b) your personal bank balance will increase as you get older a) Seems fairly safe to assume, but I wouldn't count on b): I seem to spend more & more on "essentials" the older I get... (rent, food, clothes, going out etc.) I have more income than when I was 15, sure - but I spend less of it on nice things for myself than when I was 15. Since your parents are willing to set you up with 26 pounds a month, why not save that for 6 months, ask for money for your birthday off all relatives etc. and you should already have half of what you need. Add what you earn from projects in that time and you shouldn't be far off target! Note: I'm not pretending to be brilliant with my money, nor am I that much older & wiser than you (22) and I definitely not just trying to spoil your fun... [/QUOTE]
