Pre-ordering things is trashy....

If you preorder something, you have essentially given a no interest loan to that company. It's no different than people who pay income taxes with each paycheck. It is solely reserved for the trashy and eternally poor. I feel bad for them.

You are paying for the security of getting that product on day one. The price of that security is the opportunity cost of that money.

I see you subscribe to the thuggin'it'and'lovin'it school of personal wealth.
I, however, enjoy compound interest.

This is why video games are starting to suck. Because we pre-order and we get incomplete games.

oh no, you misunderstood. If the $500 you spent pre-ordering something is putting a damp in your personal budget, you're doing it all wrong anyway

It's no different than going to a convenience store rather than a grocery store or buying a single 12 ounce coke instead of a 2 liter bottle. We are constantly sacrificing some small amount of money, which is the cost of something else, usually convenience.

the fact that you can preorder movies on apple TV still blows my mind

exceptions to what?
there is a reason to give no interest loans to companies and government?
love to hear that idiotic logic.

Next ordering will be trashy, since you lost X amount of days of opportunity cost from ordering to arrival.

Sadly, you still missed the concept of compound interest.

I didnt misunderstand, you're still not playing with a big enough multiple
