You acquired these tools over time, on an as-needed basis.

Excellent point. You can watch an old 50's sitcom or vintage Blondie comic strip where borrowing the ladder or chain saw from a neighbor is a thing that doesn't need explaining.

Indeed, when I had to sink some post-like items in my yard, I borrowed my father-in-law's post-digger. Did that make me an indoctrinated GenXer? In fact, it is financially prudent to borrow where feasible.

But hey...let's keep telling Millenials they're stupid - it's a great way to get them on the Trump Train / sarc.

Hubby would rather have his own set of tools than borrow from someone else. Now on the other hand, my boss who could do it himself, is mega well to do and mega cheap is always hinting around to borrow our tools.
