Moving to Apple from PC, Android. Sticker shock! How to do?

[iMore Question]

Hi,

Trying to move to all things Apple: iPhone, iPad, Mac desktop and maybe laptop. Whoa, the sticker shock. How do folks do it?

Cannot afford to make purchase error. Starting up social media business and verrrry little $.

Suggestions? Any articles?

Thanks

Save up the funds to afford such a purchase? I know it's an expensive investment but it is so worth the money in the long run.

It's an investment, I think you have to look at purchases in that way when you're buying them or you will be overwhelmed by the sticker price.

Apple's refurbished items can stretch a budget...

Where are you considering buying from? I ask because in the USA a Big Box Store like Best Buy or even if there is similar where you are might have credit terms suitable for you to afford getting either everything you want or at least some.
