I take it I am absolved...? (I feel better already haha). Kidding aside, I am loving the iPhone, my daughter loves it too. The feeling of guilt is fading away, that is, maybe until I see my credit card bills - 12 monthly amortizations! Thanks for dropping by :) @Joefer Hi my FP! I take it I am absolved…?

If your treo was 4 years old, you then are ok. In a way you squeezed as much value from the unit by waiting for it to go belly up before shopping for a new phone. When getting a phone then, divide the cost over 3 years. If no guilt pangs hit you with the monthly depreciation cost then go ahead and buy it. At 25k, the iphone is 694.44 a month. As a percentage of your total target expense (not income), what is this amount to you. I change phones every 12 months. I however do not sell it for this would really hit me with a large cost over the period used (salvage less original buying price). I pass it on to my kids. I have 6 so there is line of people waiting for me to surrender the unit. Generally, the phones stay with my family for about 3 years so in a way I have justified my yearly purchase ha ha ha ha. Cheers to all you phone addicts out there. Electronic gadgets from a finance perspective have a life of 3 years. If your treo was 4 years old, you then are ok.
