I'm not sure why you would term this fabrication. She could've had that macbook from her days in Chicago (after all, as the article mentions - she only moved to NYC last year). Nowhere does it say that all her possessions were purchased with that $1000/month budget - just that her current living expenses are within that number.
This is exactly the logical fallacy the article is adopting. The fact she is using a $1000+ laptop, when she could buy a much cheaper non-apple laptop? It doesn't make sense with the frugality "lifestyle."
You have the absolute minimum income in a highly expensive city, so it only makes sense for you to have the best?
