2. he’s leaving for 2 months of training in January and wants to be able to see Marcus regularly.

He was looking at a laptop recently that would cost $1,100 down from $1,500.  {It’s like listening to myself attempting to convince him that spending $300 may sound like a lot, but I could have spent $500.} However, he is the frugal one, and that price just didn’t sit right with him.
