[Star Wars] Are buying droids a big investment for a low/medium income family in the galaxy?

Closest real-world example I can think of is buying a computer, as in you buy once and then replace them in 4-5 years. Then again Anakin, a slave, basically built one in his house.

So yeah, are they expensive investments?

The Lars's aren't exactly rich, and they semi-routinely buy multiple secondhand droids and tech without much trouble. Droids are probably a bit cheaper than a PC in our world, and can last much longer.
