PK_Spam 09/15/18 6:36:06 PM #1:	I finally went and purchased a new phone yesterday (I had my iPhone 6 for three years, and the WiFi chip was busted, the GPS had been broken for about a year, the home button didnt work, and the headphone jack was on its way out.) Checked my bank account after a few hours of night terrors over my frivolous purchase (I paid $450 upfront) and I still have $1700. I honestly thought I was gonna be below 1k, which wouldve seriously fucked me up. I... have some serious issues with money. --- https://imgur.com/hCHZS1f <cite>PK_Spam posted [p:908821890] in Oh thank g...

Which is a shame, since that means I have nothing to listen to music on when I go for a walk. -_- Also, what is so special about having money in your bank account?

DeltaBladeX 09/15/18 8:09:35 PM #5:	davrick posted... They're overpriced Mine was $20 davrick posted... expensive monthly fee Prepaid, I put $5 on almost a year ago and haven't topped up since. Need to by the end of the month though, or the card will expire. davrick posted... fragile Don't know about other phones, but seeing cracked screens and the like, I wonder how poorly others treat their stuff. Mine has had a few drops while I'm out without serious issues, just a few nicks around the edges. davrick posted... pretty much considered obsolete after only like what, 3 years? Well, mine was pretty crap for storage space even when I got it so games are out, but fine for the stuff I need (browser, Steam, PSN, bank, email, etc) since they are all between 10 and 50MB. You are looking only at the people getting every new version of the biggest one, not everyone does that. My cheap one is fine for anything that doesn't demand a gig of install space. --- I'm not lazy, I just don't care http://backloggery.com/DeltaBladeXNZ - https://steamcommunity.com/id/DeltaBladeX <cite>DeltaBladeX posted [p:908826490] in Oh thank g...

They're overpriced, expensive monthly fee, fragile, and pretty much considered obsolete after only like what, 3 years? My iPhone 6 as pretty great, tbh. And its esentially a computer in my pocket, so Im willing to dish out the cash every few years, especially since I was running low on storage on the 6 DPsx7 posted... Doesn't anyone fix things anymore? Where did this mentality of throw it out and buy another come from? How do you even break a GPS and wifi chip? Sometimes a GPS chip gets fried, especially because I use my phone pretty heavily. I /tried/ to get it fixed, but that wouldve cost like, half the price I paid for the iPhone 8. Thiss gonna last me for another few years. Anyway, who are you to judge? Im sure you spend cash on things way more frivolous than handheld computers. --- https://imgur.com/hCHZS1f <cite>PK_Spam posted [p:908836295] in Oh thank g...

I... have some serious issues with money. You're better off than like 50% of Americans, just to let you know. You can always save more of course, but it sounds like you're being frugal by holding out that long to replace a phone, so good job, man. Don't sweat it.

keyblader1985 09/16/18 1:33:33 PM #11:	I don't exactly make much money, but I'm always careful with the money I do have. I had a bunch of stuff pile up recently with less work hours & more expenses, and I was so busy I couldn't even get out to cash my check until I got a whole new check. Even then (and after paying bills) I still had nearly $300 left just before cashing the checks. davrick posted... This is why I'll never own one of these smartphone things. They're overpriced, expensive monthly fee, fragile, and pretty much considered obsolete after only like what, 3 years? If you're willing to get an older phone it's pretty cheap. I paid $100 for a five year old Galaxy S5 and it works just fine for me.
