#40: iPhone Frenzy
You kind of have to reluctantly admire cell phone manufacturers, right? They are evil geniuses who have managed to convince the entire population that we need to spend $1000 on the newest shiniest phone every single year, even though last year’s model still works perfectly. And since we can’t always afford that $1000, we get locked into these contracts with networks where we can pay the phone off in installments but it means that we can’t change networks or phones until we’ve paid the phone off.
Guys, it’s time to break free of the tyranny of Apple and Samsung. You don’t need the newest flagship phone; your old one still works fine. Or you can buy a budget model that does the exact same thing for half the price. I don’t necessarily agree with the part about the installments, but we all have our preferences.
