In reviewing my cell phone account to add the $15 credit, I jumped into another abyss!
I have a barely 1 year old Samsung S10+ and I debated on buying the S20 5G when I got it last year but I got cheap and went down a notch.
I'm not an Apple person. Can't do it.
But, I started looking at upgrading my phone. There is no good reason for this. I do not have a need for an upgraded phone. This is purely a want for a 68 year old grandma that just happens to love technology and who wants the latest and greatest.
Up to now, I've changed out phones in a little less than 2 years on average and usually for top of the line. The S10+ was a departure. Now I'm hungry to rid myself of it. Again nothing wrong with it.
The phone is in perfect condition, unlike the one I turned in last year which I had dropped and mussed the corner of.
I 'could' sell it outright or take a credit from the buyback program. Selling outright if I find a customer - about $400. Buy back - about $200 (based on internet googling and as days pass this goes down).
I can afford whatever phone I want. But I do tend to err on the skinflint side occasionally, so I'm slightly at war with myself.
This is akin to my camera upgrades. I've got a closet full of working cameras that I don't use. Even the smallest are a nuisance to carry.
Youngest DD is still using her S9. Doesn't care that much. But, talk to me about the elaborate work from home computer system that doubles as a gaming system with a couple of huge monitors.
When do new phones come out? Perhaps I should google what the next Samsung will be and then I can anticipate and keep what I have for some more months.
Whatever I get will coincide with one of my next MSR's. Yikes - just gave myself some more incentive to get an upgrade - a bonus!
