Well, I wanted to give an update. Yes, I did purchase the infamous MacBook Pro (MBP) that I day dreamed about. 
I have never been happier with a purchase of that cost. I am basically inseparable from my MBP. It was the first time that I could really purchase something for me. It was more symbolic than anything else. It was truly a blessing from God. I keep looking for applications for it. Perhaps, I will comprise a list one day soon.
I now want to be able to buy nice things for my parents, because they deserve them. I say this because of the sacrifices I know they made for me and do not speak about.
It is just hard to because it appears the government takes every cent no matter how hard I work. Everything is so expensive now a days, but salaries are not keeping up with the increases. One good example would be gasoline. We all use it in some form or another to get to school, work, and play. But notice the salaries are not being adjusted up to account for this. This is especially painful for families that were just getting by. The rich do not need the adjustments because they can afford it no matter what it costs. How is that for the American Dream being broken?
Cheers!
