One tip, wait for holidays and special sales days- the savings can be significant then.

Of after.

racing subscription

What is a racing subscription?

Almost $300 alone for the 4060 ti video card

The most I ever paid for a video card was about $35 years ago, and now the AMD Ryzen 3200G with integrated graphic CPU I have is fine. I usually run 7 browsers, each generally for its own purpose, with hundreds of tabs (and 128GB RAM) and 3 word pros with multiple documents, most quite long, plus Bible programs, Thunderbird, and some other apps. I do not need anything more than the graphics I have. That would be a waste of God's money.

Just curious, not sure i understand your comment agout a “waste of God’s money”

is buying a $20,000 car, or even a $10,000 second hand car a “waste of God’s money” when you could buy a $500 junker that barely runs but gets you where you need to go “fairly reliably”?

Solomon correctly states that enjoyment is a gift from God who gives us strength to work and earn money to enjoy the fruits of our labor. We don’t have to buy the $500 junker vehicle thinking that anything more expensive is a “waste of God’s money”

“So I commended pleasure, for there is nothing good for a person under the sun except to eat, drink, and be joyful, and this will stand by him in his labor throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 8:15).

I suppose if you don’t need more, and are content with what you have, fine, but to state that anything more would be a waste appears to imply that anyone who buys more expensive cards, more than they need, (ie opting for the $20,000 car when a $500 junker is for sale) are wasting God’s money?

Am I misunderstanding your statement?
