50 Bucks a month is pricey.  600 bucks a year would pay for a kickass video card next year.  I really only use photoshop CS2 which is at least 10 years old.  Most of Photoshop Tuts want you to be at least CS3.  I'm using the CC trial right now.  The trial last for 30 days but the sale ends May 29th.  So far that is still the best option.  Still after I finish these Hexagon courses and can start selling content...you never know!
