On the other hand, lots of old people I know and have known cheap out on everything and live in a sort of time capsule of inconvenient nonsense.
If you have metal ice trays, a stove with crappy drip trays you wrap in aluminum, or cracks in your dishwasher utensil holder that will drop stuff into the heating element, I think moving forward in is OK.
Get a (figuratively) power la-z-boy with all the kind comfort buttons, not something vinyl-clad from the 70's, or status conscious smart ergo privacy unconscious from the bleeding edge.
- robocat 2y agoMany older people have to cheap out because their income is tightly constrained. Other older people I know who have a better income still often pay-to-play at status games (older than me - I'm middle aged). Some cheaper older people I know argue for alternative status ladders that are not dependent upon money. There's lots of dimensions of snobbery. Only a few acquantances seem to be able to escape from status displays. I'm a slow learner, maybe in part from avoiding status oriented jobs. I am observing status and dominance games, since I know the skills can help me, but I'm not interested enough to enjoy playing.
