You described my 20 year old ds to a T
I ended up ordering him a new iphone because he has been saying how his current one is freezing on him. When I asked him if he'd like a new one he said "no, it's annoying but it still works, I'll probably get another year out of it before it dies"
It will be a surprise and I know he will appreciate it, but he would never have asked for it.
I do appreciate his practical and frugal ways, which I think will benefit him throughout his life, but when your mom is willing to get you a nice new phone- darn it say yes!
DS’s birthday was in May. He asked for a new phone then. His was from 8th grade (actually another failed Christmas present. Lol. I actually had all 3 of my kids mad at that present. Girls didn’t get iPhone till high school but I was desperate for a gift for DS in 8th grade and DD was getting one when it was buy one get one free so I figured I would get him the other. It didn’t go over well with any of them. The girls were mad he got one before high school and he thought it was a waste of money when he didn’t need it.) Anyway, finally in August before he left for college did we get him his new phone from his May bday. He got the IPhone SE that was only $199 at Walmart.
