Technology cost money.  Who would have thought a decade ago everyone would be paying 500 for a phone and 100 bucks a month to make it work?  Look forward not back.  It's scary but you can do it!
Moreover, it wasn't too many generations ago the idea of buying car was just for the elite, if even possible at all.
Have you seen how much people pay for bottled water.  Hint: it's more than gas.
