If you’ve been following me for a while, you may have noticed that unlike some of the other tech content creators, I don’t always invest in the latest and greatest tech.

My main reason for this is because I like to use tech and gadgets like a normal person would so that I can provide updated reviews throughout my time with the product. For example, I know many people who prefer to take phones out on contract instead of buying the out or getting them on pay monthly. These contracts can last anywhere from 12 months up to 36 months, which is a long time.

Sharing updated reviews of devices as they age is something I like to do as it helps a lot of people, especially if they are looking to buy an older or second-hand device, something which I will discuss in more detail later in this article.

My second reason is that I’m not that rich, and some of these devices cost a lot of money.

Lastly, sometimes I find that upgrading or getting the latest device isn’t always worth it.

That’s why I decided to share some of the ways I save money on technology.

So, without any further ado, here is my frugal approach to tech…

Buy second-hand
