I am wondering if I should get an iPod for around almost $500 with maximum storage, save money... or $200.

The NutriBullet with healthy recipes which is affordable.

So, that's a new toss-up.  Maybe the NutriBullet?  Can I do an iPod paying monthly, too?

I would get a cheaper iPod, worried about it being ... something to have forever.  I  could save money?

So, I still want to save for the orchestra from Germany and their camp if a violinist I like is somewhat significantly involved.
