Just a general reminder of all the “must have the latest thing” upgraders.
Will it change your life in a profound way?
Will it solve an actual, real world, problem? (Global warming, hunger, poverty).

@vincent A good reminder! I intend to change my plans because of it. I need another phone, but not necessarily a new one. And I haven’t given to a charity for several months now. I think many in my country are so used to the government fixing things, so if it’s not a national fundraising campaign or giving at church, we don’t support much, (not all are like that, of course, but many are, and sometimes I’m like that myself).
