I purchased a brand-new smartphone last summer that I have not used yet. I never even opened its package.
I am still using my current phone that I have had for about three years, waiting until it finally conks out- hopefully it will last for a longer while before I have to let it go for good.
I will use my smartphone until the end.
I remember my Dell 1100 Windows XP desktop computer I first received as a gift was purchased for me in the year 2005. I had loved and used that computer for thirteen to fourteen years before the picture tube in the screen went out.
That Windows XP lasted me a long time.
Afterwards, I purchased a laptop. I was dealing with Verizon internet service back then and one of the benefits was that they replaced a computer for you under certain circumstances.
So, they had sent me a check for a certain amount of money where I headed to my local PC Richard’s and added to the rest of the funds.
I have always been this way since my teen years.
I would have brand new pairs of jeans and sneakers (LA Gear was my favorite footwear back at that time. I had four pairs all together. They were so cute and of good quality- all stylish in different colors I had) neatly tucked away in my closet and drawers. Jeans with their tags still on, sneakers still laying in their boxes unworn.
I was never one for show.
Just one to stock up on what I liked or needed to use for a later time if desired.
Material things never ruled me.
