Why isnt it cheaper to renew?!

[Luky]

Hey,

I currently have a yearly license for roughly $90 Australian, i am only earning $7.00 an hour, i wish to keep my vbulletin license without going broke! I still need to pay for things like my own phone line, broadband connection and i urgently need a new motherboard, graphics card and sound card, totalling at 1,300$~.

I was wondering, shouldnt the renewal process be cheaper for us yearly people? For example, why isnt it just 50$ or something like that? Or maby upgrading is just 85$? Instead of having to pay 160$ for a permanent licsense, current license holders can upgrade for 85$! It would increase the sales and give you yet another good point that IPB doesnt have, some of my friends bought IPB and not vBulletin because IPB was $5 cheaper.
