My recent purchases—the good and the bad ones

I've bought a lot of good stuff online and offline. At this moment, I'm still buying. And most things I buy are basically about phones, laptops, and their accessories. There are times I bought a laptop that was so many years ago, and I do not enjoy it a bit. It's always on and off. I don't know anything about it, then. But as time goes on, I know more about what I want to buy, especially since I became an engineer. I'm able to see lots of things, even the ones I don't know or have ideas of how they work.

I don't really get disappointed most of the time I get my goods because I honestly like to tell people who I'm buying from, the kinds of people I'm with, and what I don't like, and of course I don't change buyers until they fuck up. This is because I sell things too, and customers hate it when people screw up.
All that being said, here is what I bought, and I'm still enjoying it. So last year, I was dreaming of getting my laptop so I could use it for a lot of things on Hive. I would say that I got the laptop purposefully because of Hive. So I've been busy saving money for it, as I don't just want to get a laptop.

It's not as if my phone is not working well; it's just that there are some things my phone will not do. For instance, playing Web3 games on my phone won't be easy, so I need convenience. After which, I saved up for the laptop, and then I purchased it. I bought it around April last year. This is what makes me so happy about it; the laptop always looks new, and anytime I'm using it, I'm always happy. Apart from that, the dollar went up last year to 1k plus, and as of when I bought the laptop, it's not even up to 1k, so another thing that makes me happy is that it's so costly now that I cannot even price it again. It's a hundred dollars more than what I bought it last year, and that is lots of money in Nigeria—two times more than our minimum wage.
All these make me so happy because right now I can't even afford it, and I'm enjoying it.

I have also bought something that I regretted that was like a year ago or more. So I was using a Google Pixel phone that was 3xl, and I love it so much. I was like, Let me buy 4A and see if it's working.So I bought the Google Pixel 4A, and it's a total waste of money. When I got the phone, I actually trusted the man I'm buying things from, but that time around, he snitched on me, which makes me so mad. The phone wasn't UK-used, as they had changed the screen of the phone before. But I don't even check it that much because of the trust I have in the man. Believe me, sincerely, the phone doesn't last up to two months. Although he paid a little money when he realized how mad I was, but the deed has been done.
