Should I Buy a New Phone or Not?

I have been contemplating on buying a new phone the past few days. My Sony Ericsson P990i is still okay, though. My only problem with it is the weak wifi reception. I know I can’t always bring my laptop everywhere I go. It’s too risky. That’s why I think I need a new phone. But then…

…I have to consider other things. For one, Christmas is fast-approaching. We all know expenses pile up like crazy during this time of the year. In the Philippines, Christmas is celebrated the longest. It’s been a tradition of sorts. Pinoys spend the most during Christmas and we can do nothing about it. We just love sharing our blessings and showing our gratitude to our family and loved ones during Christmas.

I also have to think about our plans to relocate to a bigger house next year. My mom and my younger sister will be joining us here in Manila and we have to prepare for that, financially speaking. Well, I guess I really have to study my monthly budget and see if it could still accommodate the purchase of a new phone. :)
