Wow, I’m speechless after I saw this story. 22 years old, and already a millionaire. Maybe that could be me or you one day? Who knows. Anyway, I thought this was a cool story I’d share to show how doing something you love, and separating yourself from the competition pays off BIG time.
Good, but overpriced Adobe products October 8, 2008

Adobe, I have to give it to ya. You make some incredible products, but why oh why do you charge so damn much? I understand that all Adobe products are of top quality, but I mean $700 for photoshop? Cmon Now! Give us little people a break!
Adobe makes a large portion of their profits through businesses and Educational services. I for one couldn’t do my job as a part time graphic designer without the wonderful programs Adobe photoshop and Flash. The other luxury products just add to your experience, but those products also cost a large chunk of money. Thats exactly why I do not personally invest in them.
Here is a poll I got from www.epicedits.com
Obviously I’m not the only one with this opinion. Photoshop is one of the most pirated softwares known to man. I’m not sure about this, but I’d say 4 out of 5 people who have photoshop pirated it off the internet.
Here comes the big question, “Is Adobe making or losing money from their overpriced products?” Would Adobe be maximizing their profits by cutting their prices in half? I’d say so. I doubt that this will happen anytime soon, but if it does I will gladly go to the store and purchase some Adobe goodies!
