I only spend proper money on a couple of things in life. Apart from a stop gap pair bought in a hurry from the market to stand in whilst i continue my search for the perfect pair, boots are something I don't buy cheap. I have a minor obsession with boots. I love them and I can happily spend hours browsing them. This is the only item of clothing for which this holds true.
Computers. I don't go into the high end but nor will I buy cheap as chips. If I buy a new computer, I try to build in enough power and capability to withstand a year or so of gaming develoment. Actually this goes for tech generally. I would rather wait and do without a tablet until I can get a good one, than buy something less fun in the meantime. I don't feel the need to get new tech as it comes out. If I have something that works (a desktop and a laptop) I see no reason to spend hundreds of pounds on a new gadget (iPad). But when I do renew, I'll renew reasonably well.
That's pretty much it. Everything else remains in situ until it abolutely does not work. If it can be made to work or worked around, I'll keep it. My keyboard is held up in typing position on one side by a lighter. It has been for three years. I used a phone with no working screen for two years.
