    Here’s an example on the bigger items: I bought a used car that was 4 years old when I bought, I’ve since owned it for 14 years, so it’s 18 years old. Yes its starting to fall apart and I should probably buy a new one soon, but in the timespan that I’ve owned a single car, my brother has bought and sold something like 7 cars.

    Just the shear amount of stuff I see people buying around me all the time, is insane.

      I tend to run vehicles until they die as well, but that’s mostly because kayaks and mountain bikes are far more interesting.
