Poor example. My phone was bought new in 2014. 550$. My 50" TV was also bought new in 2014, 460$. I'm not going broke over 1,010$

I believe it's more to do with vehicles. There's always so many newer vehicles on the road and vehicles aren't cheap. Pretty well everyone takes a loan out on them. My vehicle is worth about 10k and I don't need a new one. It's paid off, it owes me nothing. Still the maintenance can get expensive but I'm not shelling out 67k for a new one of the same model.

This method/logic can't be applied to everything though. I've got a diesel pickup. Only major problem I've had is the transmission which cost me 6k I paid 11.5k for it. That's a total of 17.5k. A brand new one, same model line and all, is about 60k.

I've put 90,000km on this truck.
