First of all and this always amazes me but then again, in a way it is is almost self-explanatory why those who post, make these posts, but its just amazing how people will look a this and say, oh its only $29.99 a month…what’s $29.99 a month that’s nothing, don’t be such a cheepy.

Well first of all no has the right to determine what is or is not affordable for someone else, an it’s pretty annoying that they think they do and it’s also pretty annoying for those of us that this is a measurable cost have to end up having to pay this just because there are those out there who think that it isn’t much.

I had a really long argument with someone on the Verizon site about this and came to find out that this person was some 25 year kid who barely had another bill in his life, that I then came to find out actually he had this paid for by the company he worked for too anyway, so yeah for him it was nothing.

But if your anything of a responsible adult an understand the concept of a budget and how that a lot of little costs can really add up and have a tremendous amount of other bills to pay each month and kids to feed and put through collage and so forth and so on but that also get how much a device such as the TP2 can be such a useful or even required thing to do your job to even make that money in the first place, then this becomes a whole nother picture.

An also some of us get that this is not $29.99 per month, and that for the two year contract even if you get the device for $90.00 that it is and extra $750.00 cost over two years for something that you don’t even need, and for some, that is not a small number.

But lastly the way I always respond to this is, for anyone that feels that giving away $29.99 a month for something that you don’t need is no big deal then please, feel free to pay it for me as if this is the way you truly feel, then you shouldn't have a problem with that.

WOW I hope you didnt waste too much time writing this because you know time is money and I know how concerned you are about your budget. I understand money is important...I have supported myself since I was 18 and I pay my own bills and support a disabled adult so if you think I am not adult enough to pay my own bills then you are extremely mistaken. I am just saying you probably spend more than that on home internet anyway...and probably cable tv too. What's funny is that you can get all of those features on your phone and cancel all of the other crap you are paying for. I cancelled my home internet in exchange for data capable smartphones and guess what...I saved money. Like I said, most of the most reasonable phone plans already include data. On sprint you can have two phones with unlimited everything (including data) with 1500 landline minutes for 129.99. Plus you may be eligable for a discount depending on your employer. And I pay for my own phone bill...in case you were about to assume that I didnt.
