Should i get a macbook on finance?

[Ricky]

Hi i am just wondering weather i should get a mcbook on finance as i do not have a laptop whilst all of my classmates do.

I have a job where i earn around 240 pound per month and ive blew all my previous wages on my pc. So i am just wondering if someone could give me advice on if i should get a macbook on finance as its only 40 pound per month.

I think this is the right fourm
Thanks

If you want a laptop it's not gonna always be a macbook. Better use your PC (and buy yourself a chiper laptop.

why buy overpriced toys when you have no money?

Buying things on finance because your classmates/coworkers/neigbours/etc have them leads to an unhappy life and a mountain of debt. Regardless of your classmates, do you need a laptop to get your degree? And if you do, does it really need to be an expensive Macbook that's priced mostly for being an Apple brand?

Also, though this may be country specific, it's almost always better to get a regular loan from a bank than buying things with a finance plan. Paying back the bank tends to be a lot cheaper. Problem is, getting the loan is a lot harder, which should be a clue by four to the back of the head why you shouldn't be doing a finance plan.
