That said how people here own a smart phone? I bet 98% and you may think you own it but you are really renting it.

That doesn’t make any sense…

That’s like saying “well you only rented your BMW 5-Series because eventually it will give up the ghost and you’ll need to buy a new one!”.

Renting implies constant payment to keep access to something that is owned by someone else. It has no connection to how long an item is “useful” for.

I’m not renting toilet paper because I eventually will run out and need to hit up Costco for more…
