Every year there are new phones and if we fuel our wants always then we have tons of phones and it would be useless as we ain't using them or worse you wouldn't have any savings at all.
I think everyone needs to choose between a lifestyle that meets their daily needs and one that continues to be used in the long term and this applies to everyone. Be it rich people or poor people, because when someone always prioritizes their lifestyle every year by continuing to follow updates on expensive goods that can give them a luxurious lifestyle. One day that person will also be poor if he doesn't care about his income because he feels he is rich and won't fall into poverty again, whereas a poor person would be very silly if he followed this, especially if the poor person doesn't have any savings.
Ensuring that you live the everyday that fits how much you are getting from your annual income, as well as making sure that also means being able to save up, is a must in toady's time. No one should expect to achieve financial stability while living the lifestyle that doesn't financially fit them. I know and have seen a lot of people who had to deal with the consequences such action and decision brings, they soon realized how big of a loss they are doing and how it is affecting their future negatively. On contrast, I also know a lot of people who was able to establish a good financial life by doing the complete opposite, they made sure that they are only buying what they need, ensuring that they are able to make investments and save up some money as well. They still of course enjoy luxury goods sometimes, but too much to the point that they need to touch their savings for it. I think we all need to learn to do that, no matter how tempting it is to live a luxurious flashy life.
