It’s a judgment call we cannot make for you. However I will share the following two points:
Ask yourself how much your current computer is slowing you down, how much time you would save with the upgrade, and how much you value that time.
You don’t need the newest model. I would highly recommend an Apple Silicon chip at this point, but even the older M1’s are still plenty fast for what you’ll be using it for. So if you can get a good deal on those, consider it.
Oh, and this is “easy for me to say” but IMO you should stop thinking in average monthly salaries. You’re an entrepreneur. Those types of averages don’t apply to you.
You might have wildly higher expenses and wildly higher income than those around you.
Online businesses are a relatively level playing field. You can compete with someone in NYC where the average salary will be much higher. Your code doesn’t care. Customers don’t care.
