    The $1200 iphone on the other hand will get you $600 in an emergency. It’s the idiot’s piggy bank.

    And in the meantime you have a $1200 iPhone! Genius!

      It reminds me of my ex’s math. She’d use her credit card to buy something useless for “us” that we didn’t need. Then ask me to pay her back for half of it, since it was for us, in cash. At the end of the month, she’d ask me for help paying her credit cards. Finally, she’d eBay whatever it was she bought because “we weren’t really using it”, and keep the money.
