Do you follow the saying "if ain't broken why fix it" or you are those who like to update things?

For instance my sister is a bit of obssesed with everything being up to date, or get rid of old things even if they still work, because that is a way for the person not to dwell in the past and look for the future as things need to be updated or buy new stuff and not store old stuff even if they continue to work.

My sister is married and she lives in a nice house not very big but nice, she and her husband are those who like to update things at her house, like change new phones every 2 years or renovate things at her house often and get rid of things even if they still work and can be useful but me my brother and mom are the totally opposite because my mom is elder we live in an old house the same we had shared with my parents (my dad passed away almost 9 years ago) and we dont have like extra money to do all the repairs thatt he house need, we fix things (not all at the same time of course) as we have money available and slowly. But my sister always complain that our house (the same she lived when she was single) is old it needs to be updated, it needs this and taht repair, we have to get rid of old stuff that is not needed anymore, I mean here I do agree as my mom and you know how elder people like, they like to be stuck with memories and keep things but not all the things in my house need to go to the trash but my sister believes many things at the house need to get rid of for the health and sake of everyone, she became a little obssesed in that over the years. I mean she complains and nag us but she does not collaborate either, by like giving us a bit of money to fix some things, knowing we dont have enough money for that, she only complains and nags each time she comes to stops by and visits us at home. SHe is always like a house inspector.

this mat I only use it at home and at home noone see it anyway just me. My sister saw themat and for some reason it made her uncomfortable I still use that mat and haven't bought a new one so she told me "Why haven't you gotten rid of that mat? Look at it it is stained and a little ripped, buy a new one! That is embarrasing! I did not respond her anything. But the mat it still usable and when I use it nothing happens to my exercise just it is stained and ripped on a corner period.

My sister even wants to tell us what foods to eat at home beause soem are bad. I mean hello? Im the one living at home and Im not giving my mom bad food. I gues she does not trust entierh my rbotehr or me to take care of mom. I guess beause she does not live in the house she feels she is impotent at the things we do with mom so she wants to step in. We dont even get involved in things in her house.

Eh, depends a lot on the items. Personal headphones? Updates a lot.
Our living room tv? apparently until it breaks, it currently has some of the random lines running down it. But it's also mainly used for ours kids and not us adults so may as well leave it for now!

Yep.

Still have my PS3, and used one T. V. I had from 2004 to 2021.

I won't buy anything new until it ultimately breaks down.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If I have something that works perfectly well, I'd rather keep using it. I'm not interested in "upgrading".
