10 Things I Would Buy Instead Of The New iPhone

I am amazed at how many people are willing to pay up to $1,000 for a device that is likely to need to be replaced in 18 months. Sure, it may be the people who have tons of expendable income. I get it, you got the money you like nice things blah blah blah.

But the people I see breaking their piggy bank for the latest iPhone are the commoners for a lack of a better term. I had the urge to name a few of the things I would buy instead of the $1,000 iPhone.

1. 3.5 shares of Apple stock
2. I would pay my rent
3. Tascam Trackpack 2x2 Recording Package USB 2 With Software  to create a podcast about not wasting money on meaningless electronics
4. 10 years of Amazon Prime ($99/year)
5. Buy my daughter a dog
6. A Used Vehicle
7. Canon EOS Rebel T6 Digital SLR Camera $459
8. Start an IRA account with $1000
9. Microsoft Surface Book (128 GB, 8 GB RAM, Intel Core i5)
10. Acquire an app or business on flippa.com
