I hate computers.

Well, I know a few people who would say what many here spend on bikes and accessories as wasteful. :-) I figure if you're passionate about it and it brings you pleasure then go for it.

I spend no more than 200 on a new phone every year and about 500 on a new computer every 3 years. Not to mention i sell my old phone to fund my new phone so it's a wash. Personally, I love all things tech and I don't think that kind of spending is unreasonable for something I truly enjoy. Generally it's cheaper to buy new after 3 years than to upgrade parts or fix a computer.
