It would seem at first glance that most people say that their technology needs are a technical decision. The fact is, this couldn’t be further from the truth.  While technical proficiency is helpful further down the line, it will often hinder and postpone the process at the beginning.  Let me paint you a picture.  You are going out for a nice romantic meal for two and your budget is $100.  Upon arriving you are handed a menu with no prices.  The whole night you are treated royally, needs have been catered to, and whatever you have asked has been given.  The food and drink are amazing and it is simply the best time you have ever had.  You receive the check at the end and it is $1,000.  To me at least, as nice as this whole evening was, I am now left with a sour taste in my mouth.  This is the importance of making a financial decision first, so that at the end when you’re handed the bill, you haven’t wasted your time or money.  Let me show you how technology is no different from any other everyday life decision.
