I didn't expect my PC to become a better investment than my house - until the bubble pops.

Now I also know the feeling of buying something when it was more affordable. I can now dish out advice like "You should just buy fewer boba teas, so you could afford a PC like I did when buying it with my student loan."

Every RAM stick I bought in the past 15 years is worth more per GB now than when I bought it... If you bought RAM in 2008 the same is true, I just didn't buy RAM at that point.
