I have never understood the idea about financing a cell phone. If you don't have the money to just buy one outright, then you're really making an impulse buy and it's not a smart financial decision
Phones have become the primary computing device for the masses. My wife fires up her laptop once every few weeks at most because most of the information search, creation and consumption she needs to do she does on her phone and I think that's fairly common these days. Whether it's a good financial decision to buy an iPhone X vs. other less expensive is certainly debatable, but I don't think you can dismiss purchasing a phone as an impulse buy. It provides a lot of utility to most people and is well worth an investment.

Just bought one on Gazelle for the wife at a nice discount. She doesnt care about latest and greatest and I was tired of hearing her bitch about how her SE wouldnt hold a charge and dropped calls all the time.

Agreed. Considering how powerful phones are now, along with how often people use them, $30/month or whatever is nothing.

I still think adding an additional monthly bill (and I'm assuming being locked into a service until that phone is paid off) is a poor financial decision. But that's just me - I don't like having debt. Judging by the downvotes I got, it seems most on here rather have additional debt.
