    • Phones on contract payment plans
    • New monitors: Maybe my eyes suck, but my set of two 21-inch LCD monitors from 2005 is still going strong
    • Third-party meal delivery: I’m fine sitting down with a microwaved meal or some canned soup if I don’t feel like cooking
    • A new car every x years: My car of choice is old and relatively cheap, so I could afford to pay in full in cash. Bonus of being spyware-free, so I’ll just maintain it for as long as I can.
    • Stuff from Aliexpress, Temu and the like: the user experience is horrendous, customer service is nonexistent, and discount codes are pure gimmicks

      Am I the only one that would never change a car? Like you buy one, shouldn’t you keep it for 60 years? Why should anyone want to change a car? I had to change my car once because I’m Canadian so it rusted. It was awful.

        My last car was 30 years old when I ditched it, the underside was rusted to a point of no longer being safe. Plus the exhaust kept falling off.
