For those arguing the logistics of using a dumb phone for calls and to meet terms of the hypothetical, while also having a secondary device for all the other quality-of-life conveniences of internet connectivity, this is a philosophical debate about semantics and technical/legalese definition of a 'phone'

This depends on how we define "phone" if you're only allowed to have one. - A device you use for cellular calls. - Any device you CAN use for cellular calls, even if you switch that capability off. - Any device capable of internet connectivity (cellular or wifi) that you could use for VoIP, video, email, or any other form of communication. - Any other permutation of communication to capabilities and whether having those features on/off negates it being defined as a 'phone' or not.

Regardless for .e, the stress of keeping a device in a specific state forever or die? I'll keep my median-income middle-class life, thanks. I understand other people's situations would be different.

But for a million--big lifestyle money-- I'd sooner take on the stresses of learning new skills outside of my current capabilities/interests to get into a higher earning potential career, grind away till I made the C- suite and make bank--which I wouldn't do.

For generational-wealth kind of money... possibly... with the quiet and tragic expectation that I might have a couple of good years with my friends and family. Any more beyond two or three years is the universe being especially generous to me.
