For hundreds of years, your ability to create was dictated by the tools that you had access to. If you couldn’t afford the right tool, some types of creation were just out of your reach.
Thankfully, that’s not true any more. Certainly you need to spend a bit of money to get some core tools, but most of us already have them. Even then, while a $2500 Macbook might be a fantastic machine, a $300 Chromebook will still be able to do pretty much everything you need.
The rich have no advantage
Where it gets more interesting is to think about the tools that wealthy people possess — they’re pretty much the same as yours! If you have the latest iPhone or Pixel, literally all the money in the world can’t buy a better phone.
I’m sure you can come up with some examples of where more money would get you better tools (for example, video editing on a high-end machine), and I don’t disagree, but for most things digital you’ve got all you need.
If you want to put out amazing social media content, produce more blogs, or make great videos for YouTube, now’s the time. You’ve never been on a more level playing field with everyone else, so take advantage of it and go make some great stuff!
