It's not common in my country to buy expensive items like laptops, phones, homes, or cars for friends or family. I've seen videos on social media where people buy these things for themselves, which is surprising to me. As Turks, we believe in saving money for our future and don't tend to spend on expensive items for others. We also prioritize saving for ourselves, as we believe in financial security for the future.
