For what I am doing, it literally is.

For a student that has 50€ left each month after rent, food, etc, $2000 is quite a fucking bunch of money.

Which bank? A credit card without being required to be linked to an account with a certain monthly or annual transfer?

Which is so useful when the whole goal is to port existing GPL'd open source apps for my projects to iOS, and provide them for free.
Not to mention that all that gives you the ability to, you know, sell apps on the App Store and recoup your expenses. $2000 is a very reasonable entry price for something you could be making your living with. It's expensive for a hobby, granted, but it's not like the stuff you buy is single-purpose. And it keeps resale value amazingly well.
