Do you have the money (not going into debt, credit card or otherwise)? Are you genuinely enjoying the purchase? Are you sacrificing anything you want/need more (house downpayment, tuition money, grocery budget, student loan payments, 401k match, etc) to purchase said tech? Is the purchase hurting you in any way? If yes to the first two and no to the latter two, tell your peers to suck it. If any other combination maybe you have some introspection to do, figure out what value (if any) you're actually getting out of the purchase. Will you enjoy the gadget just as much a year from now, or is it like buying a luxury car where after a while it just becomes "a car"? The hedonic treadmill is real when it comes to things
