Why do people live in Colombian villages live in heavy poverty but buy expensive things like Iphones and flatscreen TV's?

Also they barely have doors for their home or rooms at all and rather spent their money on that.

TBH I have no idea why anyone at all would buy an iphone rather than an android one, but flatscreen televisions are cheaper than doors. I have a flatscreen TV which cost me £50 from a charity shop. A new door, as I remember from about twenty years ago, would cost me £600.

THEY might have saved up for them cuz they can't afford to go to movies.
