Which do I buy?

[morgan5EE1]

Hi, i'm a senior in Highschool and really want to buy photoshop, but I only have 30 ish dollars. From what I've read, I either sign a contract and pay monthly or buy a year long one? Is there a way to buy it for a month only? I'm currently unemployed so I won't be able to buy another month for a little while. Any advise would be great. 🙂

The one-month option would about spend your budget, the photography plan is only offered annually. 

You may qualify for »Students & Teacher« or »Schools & Universities« discount but I think those would still exceed your current financial plan.

Perpetual licenses are still offered for Photoshop Elements but have you considered using a Photoshop competitor (like Affinity Photo) or freeware (like Gimp) for now?
