Oh, I'm definitely worth the money!! 😊 But my husband is getting close to retiring so I need to be more careful with expensive purchases. We're also putting our younger daughter through college (on top of paying for my own).

Plus, when I do buy new computer equipment of any kind, I get the very best. So for me, that would be the largest iPad Pro with the most memory, as well as wifi and cellular. I *might* be able to claim a student discount (I graduated last Dec) to knock off the price a little. But then there's the screen protector, the case, and knowing me, I'll end up with a keyboard to go with it. The price just jumps higher and higher and higher!

When I bought my current MacBook Pro, I loaded it up the point of almost doubling the base price. I do not regret it one bit. I did the same thing with the MacBook Pro I bought before this one. It's 7 (or maybe 8) years old now and still works very well! I only got a new one because some of the keys were wearing out. A bluetooth keyboard works fine, but I didn't want to carry a laptop and keyboard with me to class. My daughter is borrowing it now. I find that the more I load up computer equipment, the longer I can use it before it becomes obsolete.

When did they come out with the extra large iPad Pro? I still remember when Steve Jobs kept making everything smaller, and smaller, and smaller! Now the trend is bigger, bigger, bigger! 😂
