Why do we need money if you can buy Apple products?
A student from Carolina Kyle Conroy made a sign about how much money you would have now, if at one time you did not buy an Apple product, but Apple shares for the same amount.
For example, if in 2001, instead of the first iPod, you bought Apple shares for $ 400, now their value would be $ 11 914.
The label is large and sorted by loss of profit from each product. Apple PowerBook G3 250 (Original / Kanga / 3500) takes the first place. If in November 1997, instead of this computer, you would have bought Apple shares for the same amount of $ 5,700, now the value of the asset would have increased to $ 330,563.

It is not known why Kyle Conroy made this sign and what he hints at, but one thing is clear: if all Apple fans start buying shares of their favorite company instead of its products, then these same shares will instantly drop to zero.
In addition, similar sophistic reflections can be applied to any purchase you make. If, instead of buying a gadget, you invest this money in some business or even in a bank at interest, then in ten to twenty years the amount will grow to such a size that it’s just scary to see how much this gadget cost you. And it does not matter, it is from Apple or another manufacturer. In any case, such electronic devices are a liability, which not only takes away your money, but also exponentially eats up your income in the future, and every year more and more in absolute numbers. For example, buying a television in youth for $ 1,500 will, in old age, take away from you about $ 500 a month of potential income, that is, you personally deprive yourself of the minimum pension.
Of course, a normal person would not argue that way, so the Conroy sign should not be taken to heart. The title can be rephrased like this: “Why do we need money if you can enjoy life?”
