if you’ve been on the fence about upgrading or building a new pc, now is the time. i took out a loan to do so in early 2025, and holy fuck i’m glad i did. the ram i got for ~$130 is now well over $500. and that’s just one of the many components i bought which are insanely higher priced now
prices are going to keep going up for a long time. get whatever you can now
also cut up your credit cards. if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it. but if you can, and you’re waiting for things to “get better,” they’re not going to any time soon. if ever

To anyone else reading this, please don’t take out a loan to buy a computer.

Will have to disagree on that one. I’ve gotten hundreds of dollars of cash back on credit cards each year.
Not buying things you can’t afford still applies.
