My answer is simple: "I have most everything I need and at a quality level that satisfies me for the photography I want to do now. I'd just stick with what I have and keep shooting."
I buy new gear nowadays that is interesting or has unique features, and mostly old/used gear at that, in order to explore different areas of photography that seem intriguing. The notion that I must have or need "new, better" gear might have some validity if I were making a living from photography today and into the future. I no longer do that, so it's not relevant.
