Point is bud if one invests their time and energy to properly care and maintain their things and connections (assets AND people), they will in the aggregate come out ahead of someone who neglected their things and just used them until they wore out, and bought a new one (or crafted a new relationship).
One could extend this further to explain why our current culture of wed-use-and-divorce rather than invest time and energy into cultivating and maintaining their relationship with their mate is having disasterous effects on the family community as a whole in our country and others exhibiting this behavior..
Here's a tip.. when talking about a problem as a whole, say "one" instead of "your"... you have no idea what my behavior and character is and it's foolish to try and assume that about me.
I love that you're comparing this to a lawnmower and snowblower... |
Very well written! I wish I could put that stuff into understandable statements.
In my opinion vehicles can be great investments if you know how to do it right
That is actually how I was able to afford my frs. I went through about 5 different cars before I was able to have enough money to put down on one. Hell we buy cars for $500 then turn around and fix it up and resell it for $1500. That is pure profit (based on our time of course). Also getting into accidents with a car you paid $350 for and having them total it out at $5000 really helps too.
But yea vehicles and what not can be good investments for people who are not lazy and that can take the time to keep them running and work on them. Plus in doing that you will become more attached and connected with it. Instead of treating it like toilet paper
But alas I am still bad at taking care of paint.. I am a mechanic, not an artist!
