Many of you in the community are as addicted to gadgets and gizmos as I am. The habit can be extremely expensive, and we often scratch our heads trying to figure out if we can afford the latest toys. With companies competing harder than ever to have the latest and greatest, it's no wonder we're all ending up deeper and deeper in the financial black hole. I noticed someone on Geeks asking this very question, and I decided to try and open it up for more communication here.
How do you pay for your Geeky gadgets? Are you one of the lucky few who make a lot of money and have very few bills to pay? Do you swipe your credit card time and again, racking up even more debt just to have the hottest toy on the block? Or are you someone who recycles or sells your "outdated" gizmos in order to fund the purchase of newer models?
Cell phones, MP3 players and other toys are causing consumers to fork over millions of dollars each year. I can't help but wonder what happens to all of the old devices we decide we no longer want. Where do yours go?
Yours digitally,
