“I don’t get it.”
“Well, get it. ‘Cause it’s only here for a big, big purchase of twenty-nine ninety-nine if you purchase the diamond package. Only the diamond package.”
“Sounds like a rip-off. Just give me the starter package and I’ll happily be on my way.”
Izzy and Pipp are both inside the PonT&T store in Zephyr Heights. Both are debating whether they should buy the diamond package for the new PonPhone 13plusX. Correction, Pipp is the one trying to get Izzy to buy the diamond package. For the diamond package includes not only an extra two gigabytes of data but two thousand more talk/text minutes.
“I don’t know. Twenty-nine ninety-nine is already a lot of bits. Best I just stick with the starter package now for only twenty-four ninety-nine.”
“Yeah, but it’s only five bits more!” Pipp whines loudly, everypony in the whole store noticing (but not really caring).
“Y’know what, I’ll sleep on it. Then in the morning, we’ll both come back and get whatever I decide on. Okay?”
Pipp neighs in teenage anguish. “I guess.”

“Well, I made my decision.” Izzy rejoices in gladness as both her and Pipp arrived back at the PonT&T store the next day.
“I will gladly take the gold package!”
Pipp Petals facehoofs at Izzy's decision.
“Izzy, that package is fifty bits. You can’t possibly have that kind of money.”
“Yes I do.” Izzy brings out her billfold, and takes out exactly ten different credit cards.
“Izzy, why do you have all of those credit cards?” Pipp sincerely asks of her friend. “You do know that you eventually have to pay all of those off, right?”
“Oh, I know. And I do have the money to pay all these off eventually.”
“But wait, if you do have the money to eventually pay off all those cards, then why not use that money now to pay for your phone instead for towards your future credit card payments!?"
“Well geez, I don’t criticize your life decisions, now do I?”
The whole shopping day ends as Pipp facehoofs some even more while Izzy goes and buys the gold package for her brand new (but only temporary until the PonPhone 14 comes out) phone.
