Champagne tastes on a boxed wine budget: can you relate?

I am thinking of selling/swapping out my current Core i5, Z68, 8Gb DDR 3 combo. The only time I ever had a justifiable reason for upgrading was when my 133Mhz Pentium no longer cut the mustard. The rest have been through force of habit and, for a time, because we used to be paid incentives. So.....I would splurge on hardware every two to three years whether it was necessary or not. I would also buy games that were on sale and never touch them again. I think that I should take a couple of steps down to more modest hardware [have already sold my Radeon HD 6870], and work through my back catalogue without the distraction of messing around with the latest games.

I have been similarly stupid with my cellphone. Almost two years ago, I signed up for a Cell C ControlChat 100 contract for R80 a month because I was seduced by the idea of owning something as [relatively speaking] fancy as a Samsung Star [this is coming from someone who was previously in the R120 or less mobile device category...] What I find has happened is though I am sending many more SMSes than I used to, and using the internet a fair amount, I still hardly ever make voice calls, and so usually end up rolling over to R200-R300 a month before I forfeit it.

I don't feel comfortable with this at all.

Some context: I take home R2900 a month.
