Oh....my bad.
Just give me another year, I'll make sure, in the midst of managing my finances... in the midst of budgeting for things like insurance, food, etc, I'll make sure to put aside 3 dollars or so for a year so I can have 40 dollars to spend on Buzzerbeater.
Ugh. Did you not read that I wrote this:
We all understand it's a flat rate.
I was just explaining the point Yuck was making. It's clear that even if you understand it, you don't agree with the logic, so fine.
However, I disagree with your examples of retail products like coats or pants because those items ARE investments because they are designed to last a good amount of time. Yuck used the Starbucks example because you pay 5 bucks for something you're done with in 15 minutes. I'm guessing you wouldn't buy a coat for $150 if it was going to last 15 minutes. Personally I wouldn't even it they lasted one year. Your planning on it lasting a while, but you never really know for sure.But I do know that I'd be a lot more likely to spend $150 on a coat if it will last 3-5 years, than if it will last 1 year. And I'd be more likely to do that because the VALUE is higher. More bang for the buck.
With Buzzerbeater, you KNOW for a fact it will last one year. Thus, it is more reasonable to divide by those 12 months to see what the value is a month. And the point that Yuck is making, that I happen to agree with, is that the VALUE for one year is good.
Now, back to the original topic. TRAINING AHHHHHH!
