“Buy used. I do. I could have saved a bundle under 999.”

We are middle class. I ran the numbers for my family - and we buy most things used. I was pleasantly surprised to find that we would actually be able to afford to buy more new if we wanted.

Hubby ran the numbers for his business - after reverting the 7.65% into employee pay, he found he would also be able to bring on some more employees (yay!)

You’re correct. With the money I could save under Cain’s 999, I could perhaps afford to buy a new car one day.

My bedroom alone would have saved me a bundle. The only thing I would have had to pay a tax on is the boards from Home Depot to support my new box spring and mattress.

I’m into antiques. “They just don’t make em like they used to” is not a myth, but a reality.

I had to buy my bedroom one piece at a time, but it is complete. Antique mahogany furniture. I had to put a lot of elbow grease into restoring it, but it was so worth it.
