You know, hearing all the moaning and groaning about the iPhone price drop made me think of a parable that Jesus told and is written in Matthew 20:1-15, I will post a link if you would like to read it. It is a quick read.

The gist is this:
Dude 1 gets hired in the morning to work in a vineyard
Dude 1 agrees to be paid a set amount of money ( 1 denarius )
Dude 2 gets hired in the afternoon
Dude 2 agrees to be paid a set amount of money ( 1 denarius )
At the end of the day, Dude 1 and Dude 2 get paid the same and Dude 1 thinks he should be paid more, even though Dude 1 is the one to set the original price.
Moral of the story: You agreed to a price (regardless of what that price is) and just because someone else gets paid more, or buys something cheaper does not mean your entitled to anything different than what you originally agreed too.
