One of my friends was telling me recently on how his parents still uses this really old TV that looks like it is at least 7 years old. The interesting comment was how he mentioned that to him five years should be the cut off period to start replacing something for most items.<\/p>\n
This is one of those things where depending on the situation not updating can either cost or save you more money. For recreational things, like a TV for personal use, I think you should generally keep it until it breaks down. I say that mainly because most people buy the latest and greatest without really taking full advantage of it anyways. <\/p>\n
If the sole reason was for productivity though, then that is a different story. For example, just a few months ago I was at an office and the secretary was literally still using a typewriter and they had piles of documents everywhere. Like with that even though it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t broken, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure investing in a computer would help a lot.<\/p>\n
When you think about it, I guess this is just like investing in anything and whether or not the return is worth it as oppose to basing it solely on a want.<\/p>\n
