Personally, I find the $2,000 Macbook and $800 chair offensive. I just know well enough to keep my opinions on what people ought to spend their money on to myself (most of the time).

can't get the Macbook for free, can't get the $800-level chair for free, etc. CAN learn those skills for free. Again, assuming you have the basics down, natural talent, willpower, focus, etc.
