@jerrylundegaard2592 Cherrypicking used items like a mattress and couch is a false choice fallacy. Buying big ticket items used saves so much money that the little stuff becomes affordable. I don't buy bedbug vectors like couches or mattresses used because that's foolishly unhygenic. I do buy other vintage and antique furniture because the quality crushes modern pressboard junk and even bad new furniture is more expensive. My home is mostly furnished in Danish Modern which was far from cheap new but I didn't buy it new. The economic way to buy electronics is knowing your hardware. I buy new displays because tech moves so fast and the performance/resolution/size is worth my while, but used computers are no big deal since they're so easy to maintain and work on (I favor business class notebooks but build my own desktops so I can continuously upgrade). I buy used trucks opportunistically and keep them at least twenty years. No truck note, no mortgage note and no other loans mean I don't have to work ever again.

Sleeping through math in school is expensive later in life. How many of those suckas still owe on their homes and credit cards? They're the same incompetents who took adjustable rate mortgages before the 2008 recession and often lost their homes because they bought more than they could effortlessly repay. I require vehicles other mechanics who maintain fleets like because they are by far the best informed about what they work on. I buy those used, preferably with a few dings etc to lower the price (which doesn't matter because my trucks are tools not butt jewelry). If you are not rich, learn to wrench even if you don't want to. Labor costs keep rising (but the mechanic doesn't get that money, their bosses do which is why many leave the industry) but parts are mostly not bad. The money you save buys any tools you might want (not joking, they pay themselves off quickly even in home use) and no one will care about your ride more than you do.

@904eb If someone GAVE me one I'd sell it fast enough to make a sonic boom. Are your land, home and retirement accounts already maxed out so you can quit working any day while maintaining your lifestyle? IF so, bravo but modern German autos are miserable to work on with horrific parts and labor rates so even if you never touch a screwdriver you pay for that too. I miss classic German engineering but that went away many years ago.
