ZesusHVWritter: According to your explanation, if I'm earning 500k per month and I buy a phone of 20k for just call and receive instead of a Torchlight phone it isn't a waste of money? Which means that any money I buy on something I can afford is not a waste even if I don't need it. Do you know that this is similar to buying 10pieces of meat when I know I can't eat more than 2pieces just because I can afford 10pieces? Does this sound like wasteful spending to you? |

GeoAfrikana:Your problem with spending or expenditure is not rationality. It's "NEED". According to my explanation, we are not talking of justification of spending, we are talking about rationality. You are asking for the rationality behind someone spending 600k on a phone, I tried explaining that to you, but from your response. what you are actually after is, the need and justification behind someone spending 600k on a phone. So the first problem here is your choice of words to express your grievance towards people's choice of spending. So am going to address the points you illustrated. "According to your explanation, if I'm earning 500k per month and I buy a phone of 20k for just call and receive instead of a Torchlight phone it isn't a waste of money?" =Of course, it's a waste of your money because what you need a phone for according to you is call and receive, the quality of the phone and the call you make and receive are not important to you, so long cals were made and received on that device irrespective of the comfort that accompany' the usage. "Which means that any money I buy on something I can afford is not a waste even if I don't need it." =Any money you spend on something you can afford is not a waste. Except you are telling me you spend your hard earned money without a need in mind to satisfy, in such case your problem is psychological and needs a professional psychologist's attention. "Do you know that this is similar to buying 10pieces of meat when I know I can't eat more than 2pieces just because I can afford 10pieces?" = This and what I said in response to attempt to clarify the rationale behind the reason for spending 600k on a phone have nothing in common. So let me address this. If you can only eat 2 meat, but went ahead to buy 10 pieces of meats. You are nutritiously wayward and vague in reasoning, or have poor relationships with your body. You need an urgent medical check up. But if you see me buying 20 pieces of meats and paying for it, but you bought 2 pieces of meats, then address me as being wasteful because am not buying 2 pieces of meats like you. You are an hypocrite and too concerned about people's way of life, instead of minding your own business. My advice to you would be, concern yourself with your issues first, then love others not judge them, advice them after giving them room to be close to you so as to get their need and choice. |

Lexusgs430:I do agree to a large extent there are arguments that are unfounded and pure sentimentally oriented, and are basically originated to spur hatred. But if you understand the current argument you can clearly deduce the character of the op. He is self justifying. And such persons without guidance and correction would become toxic towards everyone including loved ones. I will liken the op's character to that of Judas Ischariot a disciple of Jesus Christ who was among those that blamed the woman with the alabaster oil for anointing Christ, but wished that the oil should have been sold and given to the poor. Due to Judas regarding of money over life, he wasn't respectful or second guessing before he sold Christ for seven piece of silver. People love themselves, they believe they deserve the best that money can buy. But op believes people deserves less, that no one should acquire anything for pleasure or desire, otherwise that person is wasteful. This ideology is in itself toxic and shouldn't dwell in anyone, because it breeds hatred, jealousy, anger, wickedness and ends with depression. Love people first. Every good thing is made, was made for man. Not man for things. 1 Like |

do you know that buying a 50k phone might sound so irrational and very expensive to some class of people? Its all about preference here. Do you know that what you saving up to achieve in life be it a car, house or good investment, some people have double of them? people like that wont even think before buying the phone. just know your level and move on with it |

IMASTEX:If you are well-travelled as you claimed, you would know that most businesses do not survive the first 10 years let alone 50. You would also know how much debt people acquire to enjoy luxury in some developed country and realise that an iPhone is never an achievement to be celebrated. |

GeoAfrikana: True.. I understand that but come to think of it. Would you buy one piece of meat if you were really hungry? I'm thinking no.. You'd probably buy 2 or maybe 3 to quell your hunger. Imagine then if someone sees you eating 3 pieces of meat and proceeds to assume you're wasteful without knowing you actually needed to eat 3 pieces of meat? Someone buying a 600k phone does so cos they can afford it. I for one have no problem with that as long they're helping out people in need. It's their money no doubt but if they'd help out a but more often then maybe we'll be able to agree to disagree |

TBVH i dont think there is any justification for this, especially when i can get a phone for less than 50k like the camnon 12 that can perform just like this iphone. GeoAfrikana: |

Re: How Can You Rationally Justify Spending N600,00 On A Phone? by Lexusgs430: 10:16am On Nov 25, 2019 |
Spy360: The reasons for justifications, remains simply the responsibility of the spender...... Either morally or psychologically, it's their money and they owe nobody, not even noobody any moral or rational justification.......... The phone you are presently using, did you have to justify the purchase to anybody?..... ![]() |

GeoAfrikana:come off your high horse. Unless you are coming off a place of extreme hatred, jealousy or poverty. B4 you ask this question, why not take a look at your closet. Take a list of things you bought just because you can afford it. Aside values, we all buy expensive things when we could have bought the cheaper one that will still serve the same purpose |
Re: How Can You Rationally Justify Spending N600,00 On A Phone? by Spy360(m): 7:34am On Nov 26, 2019 |
