>That's not what the article (nor myself, nor I suspect the GGGGP) was talking about.

It was exactly what I was talking about actually. I'm not going to blow money period, so I'd end up saving the >12 months of 'fun money' not for a purchase at all.

Actually, I suspect oarsinsync was referring to this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ianferrel

Although I could be wrong. GGGGP would point to your comment, while the statement makes more sense applied to the other.

And you are going to be spending the money on a purchase, just not right now.

Why would anyone save money, if not to eventually spend it as the need arises?
