Another yearly update on my big purchases!
As predicted, I didn't make many major purchases this year in terms of tech gadgets (except a graphic card to replace the spoilt one).
I guessed a major part was me discovering the importance of using money to generate passive income - I really want to join the ranks of my financial idols, attaining financial freedom.
Still, I do plan to allocate about $1000 a year as my "luxury purchase" funds. For now, I'll snowball it to next year.
In 2015, I don't see any major hoots either.
Phone - I guess I've outgrown it. I don't really use my phone for anything other than FB and Whatsapp. Why do I need quad cores, octa cores, or n cores? Unless something revolutionary and actually useful (like 1 week battery life) comes along, I don't forsee changing my phone anytime soon.
Tablet - Same as the phone, Nexus 7 still serving me well. Was tempted to hoot the Ipad Air 2 for a while, but once again realize how much of a waste it would be. I don't use my tablet for any purpose other than watching Youtube.
Travel - Already planned a trip to Taiwan in June... hopefully this time will come to fruition.
Others - I've actually been looking to buy a good mattress. Not sure if I'm gonna make up my mind and hoot one... good ones are really expensive.
