Looking for cheaper prices [Was: How]

 You'll find cars at $40,000 and pretty similar cars (to people who aren't car experts) for $10,000.  How it happened? Adobe decided it was a fair monthly price for a product sold at $700 before. The price is comparable to buying a license, then staying upgraded to the latest version.Why should the prices be cheaper for individuals? (In fact, they are: team licenses cost more than this).

Nobody here makes pricing decisions as we are all product users.  But to put this into perspective for you, 51+ apps & services on the All Apps Plan for $40/month (special limited offer) for 12 months comes out to less than $9/yr per title.  I think that's very affordable.  And compared to design apps like AutoCad that cost $1,775/yr, Adobe's All Apps plan is a steal. 

Adobe also discounts software for qualifying students/teachers (60% off the first year).  But if you really can't afford Adobe products, maybe you should use a cheaper alternative.  There are plenty out there.
