Let me ask you a question. Can you invest your time in something? Like a relationship? In education? In your health?

Yes, because you get a partner, a degree/knowledge, and a better QoL in return after spending that time.

A phone is just a luxury item, not an investment.

Thank you for the meaningful dialogue. I agree with your first premise. As far as the rest, that is subjective. For some, who use their phone to listen to music, watch videos or comment on Reddit that may be true. It’s subjective. At the other end of the spectrum, if you own a small business your smartphone is a pocket computer. It connects you to your clients and business partners. It’s a payment processing tool bringing in revenue. It’s with you 24 hours a day and you cannot risk it being damaged or not working. There is an ROI just like a relationship. That’s why you’ll see a range of answers to this question.
