I think we need to use the product we buy until it work for us. For example I used one smartphone for 5 years until it broke. And 5 years later that phone still works for me (before it broke of course). So we need to stop listen to bad media and try to think better before buy or do something. How about being minimalist? That is a good option for me
Yeah, minimalism is good. I also usually use phones for a long time. But, I buy only if it's really needed. Recently I updated my phone to have better camera, but I never buy something just to tell people that I have it. What a lot like to do.
