MacBook $599: How to Save and Why It Is a Real Investment

Apple launched a MacBook for $599 USD. Don Roi teaches you how to save it and why a good tool is an investment, not an expense. Includes comparison in BTC.

Apple just broke the market: New MacBook for $599 USD. Yes, you read that right. For the first time in history, Apple is competing on price in Latam.

But here comes the million-dollar question: do you buy it or not? Spoiler: it depends on whether you use it to generate more money or just to scroll through Instagram.

It's not an expense, it's an investment (if you use it well)

A computer is not an expense. It is a work tool. If you use it to edit videos, design, program, create content, or play professionally, that MacBook can generate 10 times what it costs.

Think of it this way: a taxi without a car doesn't work. You without a good computer, neither.

Don Roi's Lesson: The 4 Rules

1. Spend less than you earn. Can't spend less? Then you need to earn more.

2. Save and invest FIRST each month, before anything else.

3. Increase that percentage over time. Goal: 10-20% of your income.

4. With the rest: live. Life flies by.

For the MacBook: if you earn $500/month, save $50. In 12 months, it's yours. If you earn more, shorten the time. The numbers don't lie.

The Power of BTC: Time Perspective

Today $599 = 0.0061 BTC (price March 2025).

With those same 0.0061 BTC:

• In 2020: you bought a gum ($50)
• In 2017: you bought a pizza ($20)
• In 2013: you bought air ($0.60)

The MacBook depreciates. BTC historically appreciates. But beware: you need the tool to work and generate BTC.

Tip of the week

Open a separate wallet TODAY. Call it "MacBook Fund". Put in $50 this week. Repeat each week. In 12 weeks you have $600. Automate it and forget about it.

If you have crypto, calculate: How much of your stack does this MacBook represent? If it's less than 5%, buy it. If it's more than 20%, wait.

The best investment is in yourself. But only if you then use it to multiply your wealth.
