There are great deals here on the other side of the Pacific. My Internet company recently started a phone service and it will likely offer $300 in gift cards for those who buy a new iPhone, knocking the price of a new basic iPhone 10r to $450. Then there are the outrageous Chicago taxes that push it up to nearly $500. I work a boring job in criminal justice so I can afford these toys. I have done whatever it takes to get and stayed employed. The money affords my digital lifestyle, and I have no apologies.
