Dont think of price, think of cost per use

For non-necessary payments I think of it in cheeseburgers. Would I rather have this five hundred dollar phone or eat a cheeseburger a hundred times?

Cheeseburger all day every day... but then I need to think about the quality of life degradation that 100 additional cheeseburgers would bring... sigh The rabbit hole never ends.

Sure, a hundred cheeseburgers in a day would be too much, but if the phone will last three years, that's about three burgers a month ... could be worth it!

What you're doing is considering opportunity costs, which is quite a good thing to do.

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger. Android no iPhone.
