If you're a student, you get a fatty discount. If you're not a student you should be working which means you can save for the software if its that important to you. If you're not working then go find a job. There are career services available for the unemployed that give you access to tools like Office, Word and etc. Go to your local library to access the internet and most have basic tools like word as well, if not Open Office.

We live in the computer age. the resources are there.
