I was at a yard sale in Toledo and saw a guy buy a broken power drill for $3, then fix it with a $1 part from his garage.
It wasn't about the drill. He told me, 'The budget isn't in the price tag, it's in your head.' I used to just look for the cheapest new thing. Now I ask if I can fix the old thing first. It's changed how I see every single purchase. How many of you actually try to fix stuff before you replace it?

Depends on the thing. Some stuff is just meant to be thrown at the wall.

Honestly, that's such a good way to look at it. I fixed my own coffee maker last month with a YouTube video and a five dollar part. It felt way better than just tossing it.
