Or, you know, people who like their tech. I mean, I know I could use an iphone 6s or whatever other phone until it dies. But for a piece of tech I use more than any other, I'll spend the extra dough. Part hobby, part utility. Note also the extra dough here is pretty small compared to say a car hobbyist.

In many other ways I'm fairly frugal. I very rarely buy new clothes for instance, and for non-tech things am pretty minimalistic.

It's all about what you value.
