I am a Chinese, and you know Chinese in the east are well known for how calculative they (we) are in spending money... It is both side of good and bad, being stingy and being save.
Years back, I was still a typical calculative Chinese. I still wore my old shoes despite they are in bad condition; I reluctant to replaced my tyres although they have worn out. I proudly claimed myself as 'a savy person'. But I was wrong. Not changing a new pair of shoes might bruise my toes and causing lost of working hour (money); Not replacing my tyres might cause accident and causing lost of time and money and even life.
Over the years, I have changed. If I must need to buy something, I will do it fast, because I can avoid unnecessary hassle and lost. The money need to be spent anyway, how much interest can you get from the bank?
I told my brother the other day, why still not change his iPhone 6 although he can afford it easily? He said it is still usable, just poorly performed. I told him, was he waiting the phone to die then only willing to get the new one? And lost all the content? (He doesn't do back up). He bought a new one after 3 days.
So, spend on the necessity fast if it is something you must buy, isn't it nice to be able to scroll on a lag-free iPhone earlier?
