Computer related:

  • Don’t be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs…
  • Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
  • Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.

Buying stuff:

  • There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
  • Buck buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
  • Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.

    I really disagree with your secondhand comment. Buy more secondhand, less new! Cheaper, better for the environment, and you can find some cool things you wouldn’t otherwise. I get nearly all my small kitchen appliances from thrift stores. Most people get them as like a wedding gift or something and then never use them, so they are practically new. All my clothes except underwear and socks are thrifted, most of my furniture, my dishes, most electronics… I love thrift stores.

      easy fixable problem

      Op is pro second hand

      never cleaned

      Op means, you just have to clean it and it is as good as new. Not “oh no dirty, stay away”

        Yeah I for sure read that as ‘don’t be afraid of second hand’ because with a little cleaning and maintenance you can get quality stuff at a discount
