I had a period of unemployment last year during which I had to sell my PS5 to pay my power bill. I'm working again, but it'll be years before I can afford another video game console. I hope my launch-era PS4 keeps hanging in there, I'm worried for its hard drive.
I highly recommend avoiding paying for things you can get for free.
The people you're enriching are having no problem paying their utility bills, and all of them live a higher quality of life than you.
Hard drive in PS4 is user-replaceable so at least there’s that. Putting even the cheapest SATA SSD decreases load times considerably too which should help in stretching its lifespan a bit.
