  • They don’t pay 38$ for just iCloud storage.

    If they’re paying that much they likely have Apple One highest tier which includes AppleTV, Apple Fitness+, Apple Music, Apple News+, and Apple Arcade in addition to the iCloud storage at 2TB.

    If they only need iCloud storage and don’t need any of those other services, you should just move them to a lower iCloud account that is enough storage for them. It will be affordable and simpler.








  • As far as MacBooks go, it’s easy for me. Every Mac I’ve owned has outlasted Windows/Linux PCs to the point of being the more frugal option if the upfront cost is affordable.

    That doesn’t take into account whether you need Windows specific software—mostly games and some technical, industry specific software. Sometimes Wine/Crossover or virtualization is an option.

    That said, balance your necessities, your emergency fund, your retirement fund. If those are reasonably covered, you’re in the position for a big spend especially on something durable that also makes life easier.
