Should I buy the iPod Touch 5th Gen?

First things first. The iPhone 5 is already out? When was this? I thought it was still in the making. Wow I must be slow. By the way I'm not trolling.
OT: Anyways does anyone own a iPod Touch 5th Gen? I was thinking about getting it, but I was stuck with a the dilemma if I should buy the 4th Gen instead since it's $200 and the 5th Gen is $300. The 4th Gen is still new right? How old actually? I mean to be honest, money really isn't an issue. I have enough to buy the 5th Gen, but I wanted to know the pros and cons of it. I also wanted a comparison between the 2 models. What makes the 5th Gen better than the 4th? But I feel like the 4th Gen is still in it's prime. Help please?

I forgot to mention bills. You do have a point, but lets stick to the topic. My old iPod Touch 2nd Gen isn't exactly in it's prime anymore. The audio jack doesn't seem to work and I can no longer listen to music. Plus for a long time now, I actually have something that I want to buy. For months my $ has been going to bill and food. I honestly didn't give a care about buying the things I want and besides I don't constantly buy everything that's new and hip. But thanks for your concern about my $.

It may be an issue for you, but not for me. If you must know "where I work" at. I work at a crummy grocery store on minimum wage. I make about $200-$250 on average a week. I tend to waste the majority of my earnings on food and other nonsense. I rarely treat myself to something nice, that doesn't smell like food. So when I tell you money isn't an issue, it isn't. Of course for those less unfortunate than myself.

From memory the 5G Touch has a bigger screen, more memory (up to 64gig), a better camera, slightly upgraded battery and a larger choice of colours when compared to the 4G version.
