Depending where you are and what you income is, €447 is a lot of money to spend on a hobby.

That costs more than a month's rent in some European cities https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/region_prices_by_city?...



Well, in that context one can also say that a €447 pair of shoes is ridiculously expensive, a €447 bike is ridiculously expensive, a €447 telephone is ridiculously expensive, etc.


> €447 pair of shoes is ridiculously expensive

Well, at this point it's not even ridiculously expensive; €100 would be ridiculously expensive already.

> a €447 bike is ridiculously expensive

Nah, a good bike can easily cost as much; it's an investment similar to buying car.

> a €447 telephone is ridiculously expensive

It is and it baffles me people are willing to spend even more.


A pair of shoes, a bike or a phone will be used a lot more, and with no license restrictions, than a hobbyist copy of Mathematica.
