Stupid M*ther-f*cking Savings and Why I Shouldn't Actually Feel Like My Savings Was Pointless

So it took me a couple years since the first concert I attended with just my two youngest siblings and me to finally calculate how much I spend on average on our concert trips. The concerts we like to go to almost never if ever come locally to us, so we have had to travel a minimum of eight hours to get to them, but now, I like it that way. I don't know that I ever want to do a local concert again. The hours of driving and either listening to music or talking with them is awesome. Having to take three to four days off work is more than worth it, but I digress. While those concerts are the main driving factor behind this post, they are not the point of the post.  The point of the post is that I was trying to save $2300 for the two concerts and a new phone to take even better pictures and videos during the concerts and for Rome's graduation which is going to be in a small football stadium but still big enough to need to zoom in to get good pictures of him, so I want an iPhone wit
