I feel like this is largely a product of USA's society and maybe Europe; but here in Argentina I think it's absolutely the norm to try and fix things multiple times before giving up and buying something new; and many things are now not that expensive anymore, it's just in the culture. Just to be clear you don't always fix them yourself; it's more common to pay someone who knows what they're doing.
