How do you all afford it?

[Magicacaca]

I've been pondering which one to go for for ages and can't decide. How on earth do you all decide which one you want when:

a) you know another (better) one will be out within a couple of months
b) these things can cost upwards of $500

Where do you find the money?

Do you all stay in all month just so you can afford it, or are you all secretly loaded?

Just curious.....

most people are tied down with never-ending contracts which give them the oppotunity of getting a free phone once every X months

personally I buy outside contracts so I paied 1000$ for my x1
paied the same for my himalaya and wallaby

but since wallaby was the first htc phone ever and himalya was the 2ed and I only got the himalya because the wallaby was stolen and the insurance paied for it
and then the time to x1 was released and the fact that the himalaya broke
explain that I'm not loaded

but of cause it don't mean that there are not people in this forum who may be buying with mum and dads money

but on the pro side
I only pay 10$ a month to my operator and never had a sim locked phone in my life
