Not necessarily. Look at your hobby of mobile phone. You don't need to buy anything, let alone a mobile phone. The mobile phone is just a tool. If a college student wants to borrow money from his parents to buy an iPhone, it is really unnecessary. After all, it is not a small expense. If you really like it, you can study hard to get a scholarship or earn money by yourself.

Of course, if parents have financial resources, they can provide better choices for themselves. In other words, it creates an opportunity for you not to choose, only considering whether it is good or not.
