Now lets say 100 ip is like a dollar. Now it takes you about 2 weeks or maybe more to get 63dollars. Now lets say you've been saving up for 2 weeks to get 63 dollars when your other siblings just spend it on whatever or save it up or whatever. Now lets say you bought a 63 dollar phone. A few days later your mom decides to give everyone who doesn't already have one the same phone. Wouldn't you feel like you got ripped off and wouldn't you want your siblings to have to work for that phone instead of just it being given away?
I don't really see any significant differences between the examples I gave and your example...

Economically speaking, this is totally destructive behavior. You are destroying total net value because of your "grudge." It really doesn't affect you either way whether your siblings get a free phone or not. The money you've spent on the phone is a sunk cost--you're not getting that money back either way.

Now... is this "fair?" I think that's a completely different question and totally subjective at that.

It's essentially the same concept.
