FOMO for iphone

I bought an iPhone 15 (128 gb)in January this year, and honestly, I was pretty happy with it. But now a couple of my friends are getting the iPhone 17, and for some reason I’m suddenly getting this weird FOMO 😭
Like, they’ll have the latest iPhone and I’ll still be using my iPhone 15, and I keep getting this feeling that maybe I should also upgrade. It’s not like my phone is bad or anything. It works perfectly fine and I don’t really have any major complaints.
But seeing everyone around me getting the newer model is making me feel like I’m missing out. I know this probably sounds stupid, but I’m genuinely wondering if I’m thinking about this the wrong way.
If you were in my situation, what would you do? Would you just use the iPhone 15 for a few more years, or would you upgrade?
Also, realistically, how many years should I use an iPhone 15 before upgrading? I don’t want to keep upgrading just because a new model comes out every year.

Looking for business advice: Atleast making ₹80k/month with low capital

Hey everyone I’m from India and I’m preparing for Bank PO exams with the goal of getting a banking/government job by 2026. But at the same time, I’m trying to be realistic — government exams are uncertain and extremely competitive, and I don’t want my entire future to depend on whether I clear one.
So I want to start building something on the side now.
My long-term goal is to build a proper business that can reach around ₹80,000/month consistently by mid-2027, and hopefully grow much beyond that. I’m not looking for some “make ₹1 lakh in 30 days” type of thing. I want something sustainable that I can slowly build over the next 1–2 years.
The biggest limitation is capital. I don’t have much money right now. I could arrange around ₹50,000 to start, but I don’t want to put a huge amount of money or take a big loan when I don’t even know what I’m doing yet.
Recently I’ve been looking into TMT/steel brokerage. The idea of connecting contractors/builders with suppliers without holding a lot of inventory seems interesting because the initial capital requirement can be relatively low. But honestly, I’m a complete beginner and have no idea how difficult it is to actually get contractors, approach manufacturers, negotiate brokerage, etc.
I’m also open to completely different business ideas.
I’m thinking about this quite seriously because I’m trying to build a financially stable future for my girlfriend and me. I don’t want to just sit around preparing for exams and hope everything works out. I’d rather spend the next year or two developing another source of income as well.
So I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actually run a business, especially people who started with very little capital.
A few things I’d love to know:
What business would you consider with ₹50k or less?
Is ₹80k/month within 12–18 months actually realistic, or am I being too optimistic?
Is TMT/steel brokerage worth exploring as a complete beginner?
If you had only ₹50k, what would you NOT spend the money on?
What skills would you learn first?
What businesses look attractive online but are actually terrible for beginners?
What would your first 90 days look like if you were in my position?
I’m willing to learn sales, negotiation, marketing, accounting, etc., and I’m prepared to put in consistent effort.
I’m not expecting ₹80k immediately. I just want to start building something where the income can grow consistently instead of depending entirely on a job.
If you were in my position — ₹50k or 0 , limited business experience, Bank PO preparation on the side, and 12–18 months to build something capable of ₹80k+/month .what would you do?

I need some real advice

I am confused

The girl I care about asked for some space after things became emotionally tense between us. Earlier I was overfocusing on her social media activity like why she replied me late why she doesn’t put same efforts for me like earlier (cz she is my ex we broke up last November ,she lost her feelings and I am trying to win her back by being everything she wants in a guy )and she got frustrated and told me to focus more on myself instead of constantly focusing on her,then she hid all the status and stories from me because I was getting too attached

We still had one calm conversation afterward( 7 days later) where I texted first about what was she doing and she replied normally and asked me too like
how are you -I am good
What about you
I am good too that’s it

but since then there hasn’t been much communication. It’s been 13 days

Now I keep feeling the urge to call her or text her because I miss her and part of me feels like calling could reopen communication and make things feel normal again.

But another part of me worries that calling when she already asked for space could come across as emotionally pressuring or anxious instead of healthy.

And also a part of me thinks she could message me too

What do I do please give me some advice !

I’m aiming for IBPS PO 2026 and this will be my first attempt. The problem is my BSc final semester exams are from 19th May to 25th May, so I can’t fully focus on banking prep before that.

From what I’ve heard, IBPS PO prelims will probably be held around August. So realistically I’ll get around 2.5–3 months of serious preparation after my exams.

My question is — is this enough time to crack IBPS PO in the first attempt if I study seriously every day?

If yes, can someone please guide me on:
- How many hours I should study daily
- Which subjects to prioritize first
- Best strategy for Quant, Reasoning and English
- When to start mocks
- Whether current affairs from May onward will be enough
- Mistakes beginners usually make

I really don’t want to waste more time feeling confused or overthinking whether it’s possible or not. I just want a practical roadmap from people who have actually prepared for IBPS PO.

Any honest advice would help a lot.

I have seen this line on many places, but what if the other person like does not even bother about the absence ? Or they do actually but don’t show it ..

. Like it’s been two days we have not talked , because she wanted me to distance and focus on myself instead of her and the other person is normal, Posting stories and living normally so how will I know if they are actually missing us.Like she could maybe ask how was I doing or have a small talk

I am really confused

I think I messed this up and I’m trying to understand where I went wrong.

There’s this girl I really care about, and our situation is a bit complicated. We were in a relationship before, but it became very toxic. We loved each other, but we also fought a lot. I would try to understand her, but I always felt like she didn’t really try to understand me. Eventually, she broke up with me.

After about 4 months, we started talking again as friends. The hate between us was gone, things felt lighter, and we were on better terms. We even had this understanding that if I could get a stable job by July 2027, around 80k or more, then we could think about marriage. She’s older than me, so there’s family pressure on her side too.

Then one day I made a dark joke, and she got really upset and furious. After that, she broke that whole agreement. Since then, I’ve still been trying to be as good as possible, thinking maybe I could win her back slowly.

But recently, things started feeling off again.

I was putting in a lot of effort, genuinely thinking about her, trying to make her happy, replying fast, being there whenever she needed. In my head, that’s what you’re supposed to do when you like someone.

But over time, I started feeling like it wasn’t equal. She would take hours to reply, sometimes not reply at all, and when I brought it up, she just said she’s like that with everyone.But this was before she broke the agreement too

Still, it didn’t sit right with me. It felt like I was giving way more than I was getting back.Few days ago I mentioned the inequalities to her and she replied who am I to ask for those effort “you’re just a friend stay as a friend don’t cross the boundaries”After that she blocked me on Instagram the same day when I tried to solve the agruement like why I was feeling that way ,maybe it got too heavy on her idk but she blocked me on insta that day so I made calls repeatedly to her begging her to unblock me Cz it really feels uneasy for me she did so and unblocked too

But

Then I noticed she hid her Instagram stories from me. That really got to me. Not because of the stories themselves, but because it made me feel like I’m being kept at a distance or not trusted. So I asked her about it.

That’s when things got worse.When I said about this

She said it’s her choice and I can’t control everything she does. And then she told me if I send one more message, she’ll block me everywhere.

That hit hard.

I wasn’t trying to control her, I just wanted to understand and feel valued. But maybe the way I went about it made her feel pressured, I don’t know.

Now I’m just sitting here thinking:

Did I care too much?

Did I push too hard?

Or was I just expecting something that was never really there?

I feel stupid for putting in so much effort when it clearly wasn’t being matched. At the same time, I can’t just switch off how I feel.

I’m not even angry at her. I’m just… disappointed and confused.

If anyone’s been in a similar situation, I’d really appreciate some honest perspective.otherwise you can give me some advices

The main thing is I really want to get a job and marry her I can’t see her marry anyone else but these things are eating me up I try to be good and become maybe the bad one
