Yes. I currently have /e/os on it. I dunno how long devices are kept up to date with that. But if any of the OSes are no longer maintained you can hopefully find one that is. So it's possible it could last even longer than the official Fairphone android version.

I could however see that tech may change enough that a ~10 year old phone may need replacement regardless if you can buy replacement parts.

I feel like this phone should be good for most users. Most people don't need to take super high quality photos or play demanding games on their phones.

Sure it costs a bit more per performance, but I think it is gonna be worth the price in the long run.

I have a FP4 that I plan to have until end of software support. I will likely have to get a new battery in the future, but that's a breeze since it takes a minute to change and it is affordable, especially compared to many phones that are basically dead once the battery is bad.

Cheapest I could find in Sweden. Around 10€. I think it is 3GB data and unlimited calls and texts. Whatever data I don't use stacks up for a year or somesuch. I have WiFi at home and the office so I don't really need much data. I would go for a cheaper plan if it existed.

Sencha Fukujyu. Loose leaf green tea with no added stuff. 70 degrees. Reuse leafs throughout the day. Brewed in a kettle that allows proper expansion of leafs.

While not really a budget tool per say, I'd recommend checking out Beancount if you are looking for a power tool and you are comfortable with a bit of Python. The only really manual steps I have in my setup is downloading transactions from my banks and categorizing any transactions that the machine learning plugin fails to categorize.

I feel like there is going to be a disproportionate amount of people not using a standard qwerty keyboard that replies to this :)

I use qwerty on a standard 100% and another split 60%. I am trying to switch to ortholinear split Dvorak, but haven't been able to design a keyboard I am comfortable switching to full time. I would also need two of them, one for home, one for work.

Fairphone 5 has 5 year warranty. Sure that's not 4, but the title makes it seem that 4 is longest out there.

Trickier than most. Pretty detailed. I think the island is a nice touch. The ropes are also interesting.

The dolphins!

I have had basically no issues with my setup: Edgerouter 4 (overkill, had a lower end Edgerouter earlier with no issues except the power adapter died, other hardware was fine). Some pretty basic unifi AP. As well as some cheap dumb gigabit switches. Can basically fire and forget them. Relatively easy to do most things I need on it. Never needed a reboot outside of upgrades. No stability issues, unlike basically all other home grade all in one stuff I have experienced in the past.

Fairphone because I want it to last 5+ years without any annoying repairs.

I import my transactions into Beancount, a plain text accounting software, a few times a year. My setup uses basic machine learning to classify each transaction. This gives me a decent understanding of my situation when combined with Fava, which visualizes the data.

Each month I save a set amount of money automatically into a few different index funds.

I make sure everything that is a monthly payment is something I actually use. Only one streaming service at a time, cheapest phone service etc.

I keep an eye on my main account every now and then to see how much I have. If i feel like it is stacking up more than what I may need in a short amount of time, I either buy more index funds or put it in an account with interest on it. If the main account ever runs out of money I have done something wrong.

I would say I don't really budget. For me I do not feel the need. I am by no means rich, but not spending money on wasteful things really does a lot. E.g. make food most of the time instead of eating out, cut your own hair, only buy things that last and do your research before buying anything significant.

Please keep in mind I live in the EU and pay a sort of salary insurance so I do not have to stress a lot if something were to happen to change my situation.

I could recommend evaluating if you really need shampoo. Look into no-poo or acid rinse. I use local made soap and acid rinse instead of shampoo, works well for me. Other than that as others said we need more info.
