To upgrade my phone?

ive had my current phone for two and a half years. The battery is gone and it’s slowing down, the apps don’t work correctly etc.

I have looked into upgrading and it’s only £15 a month more than my current contact which I can easily afford. My partner thinks I should stay with the current phone that I have because it’s “not sustainable” to get a new one and this one “still works”. But I just think it would be more beneficial to get the new one

Edited now - that’s another thing. The autocorrect has gone dodgy as hell!

how old are you? Do you always listen to what your parents say? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ffs I meant partner, not parent! 🤦🏼‍♀️

if you're paying yourself then tell your parents it's none of their business how you spend your money. If they're paying for it then you'll to wait until you've got enough pocket money to upgrade yourself.
