It is not bad to get something new and that is better than others, but the most important thing is that we need to think when making plans to get this stuf if it is something that can be afford without one be affected financially. It is a financial mistake for people to strive on what they can't afford comfortably. When one is not financially buoyant to get something that can't bring value, I think it is a waste of money spending huge amount of money just to follow the trend and to feel among of people using the latest.
People who are wise in using money will certainly always have special considerations for its benefits and functions first when they want to buy something that is more directed towards current trends. Because people who are very wise in using money will never waste money on items that have no benefits even though they are rich, let alone if someone is poor. I also quite agree with what you said because basically everyone must be able to handle the burden of their life when they have spent money on one thing so that it will certainly be seen through the ability of the person himself. However, if his ability is still very ordinary in following current trends, it is clear that he does not need to be tempted by more luxury goods and things that are less useful for himself.
