I'm a college student, I don't have $500 AFTER expenses lying around. There is a big difference between not having $500 and not having $500 after you pay all of your bills and other expenses. I don't have any debt. I pay for everything cash. I don't even have any student loans at this point. But if I wanted to buy a $500 BP I would have to save for a few months before I could purchase it.
