[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Maybe that’s true of clothes, but this trend of ripping out perfectly hood kitchens and bathrooms and replacing perfectly good cars has absolutely nothing to do with quality or longevity.[/quote] I agree. This thread is inspiring. I want to be like old wasps, live frugally and not waste. I’m terrified at the amount of things we consume. When I go to Costco and I see crates and crates of stuff I always think about it.[/quote] It's not just an old wasp thing. My family is decidedly NOT UC, WASP or anything like that and we have always sought long term value. This is true of many cultures. Fetishizing the behaviors of multi-generation wealthy people is beyond odd. [/quote]
