RE: Use Your Things Until They Break And Save Money

Thanks, @rarej! It is a 1998 Nissan Sentra. We bought it when it was about 4 years old. So it's 25 from the model year and we have owned it for about 21 years. The longer you can keep a car and maintain it well the better off you'll be. One thing that really didn't exist as much when I was growing up was planned obsolescence. Making things that didn't last as long because they figured out they couldn't make as much money if stuff lasted forever.
I guess it depends on how badly something is broken though too.
Have a great day! 😀

planned obsolescence

True. This is probably a major factor why that car lasted as long. My parents also have the same refrigerator since 1999 and it still does what it needs to do. Nowadays everything is built differently.

Yeah, because they can't make money if people don't keep replacing things every few years. Have a great weekend, @rarej!! 😀
