I consider myself a thrifty person. I eat cheap food drink cheap kopi. Hardly buy unnecessary items. BUT, Apple product is my weak spot. Damn it Apple.
Last night, I itchy finger go and browse Carousell. Looking for MacBook Air M2 512GB. I’m currently using MBA M1. Ever since M2 version launched, I love the new design and the Starlight colour. But I never do it because I don’t need it. M1 is good enough for my use.
I’ve been telling myself I don’t need it. But last night, I saw someone selling M3 version at M2 price! It was bought 5 months ago at $1899 and asking for $1400! 26% discount and still with warranty.
That alone supersede my philosophy of “buy what you need, not what you want”. Then I told myself, ok I’ll just offer him $1300 then let fate decide. After that I went to bed.
Nb, this morning he accepted my offer. And now I’m on way meeting him to collect my prize.
This is the time I comfort myself by saying “life is short, sometimes it is ok to use cash to buy happiness”. And I totally agreed.
