Do not buy a new device unless the old one is completely worn out

Postby Yugocean » 30 Jan 2023, 06:33

If your old mobile can do all the work, then don't buy a new mobile.
There is no need to buy a new TV if the old one is providing enough entertainment.
If the old computer is working well, there is no need for a new computer.

Keep in mind that the new device you buy will also become outdated one day. That is why, when a new product enters the market, you should not waste your money on anyone's advice.

This is what we should do because many times we buy a new device and then the old one stays unused and stops working so it's a bigger loss for us.

I buy new device when the old one is completely worn out. Don't see the point of replacing the old ones when they are working well.

There are persons who tend to follow trends when it comes to phones. Especially most iphone users in my country, they always want to buy the latest iphone, it does not matter if their phone is not up to a year old, but once a new version comes out, they start struggling to buy a new one or even try and sell their old ones.

To spare money, I didn't purchase a new TV when the old one (a gift from my mother-in-law) got broken (only the audio works, not the video any more). Nor left to a repair shop. My couple can live very well without a TV.

Its applicable in other things too, some time it happened with me as I purchased new one and so the old one jammed after sometime.

I too behaves like that. For instance I don't buy shoes until the pair I am using is completely worn out.

I rather align on usage and I don't buy a new device until the old one is no longer useful.

Yes, that's what I've always done. If my phone can still work properly, then I don't think about replacing it with a new one. Likewise for other items.

It is important not to buy a new device when the ones you have at hand is not yet spoilt because it's a money-saving strategy.

This is big time economics. You might just want to upgrade to a better device.

If you keep old items that are still good before buying new one is an avenue to save money.

I agree with you for me I would like buying the refurbished items after the existing one is completely worn out and out of order.

Refurbished phone? I dread them as they can just pack up anytime.

It is very compulsory to ensure that you do need the new device before you buy it.

This is a good idea unless your old device doesn't do what you need it to. For example, I once upgraded my phone because although it still worked as a phone the OS was so out of date that I couldn't use some of the apps I needed, and it couldn't run the latest version. I gave the old one to someone who didn't have a phone.

I don't rush out to buy the latest version of things usually though.

if the phone can't serve you again, give It to someone that needs it and get a new one.
