Good article! I bought a new iron for $50. It broke down after two uses!! Lost the receipt so sent it to recycle. Replaced it with a thrift store iron from the 1980s for $2. It is going strong and works like nobody’s business! When that breaks down I’ll buy another $2 iron ?

I’m with you on the downgrades. We are purposely getting a smaller place to reduce the mess and clutter and time to maintain. For years, we had a fancy shmancy espresso machine that needed so much TLC that we went back to a French press. I’m so it’s strange for people to want to downgrade when every marketing ad is asking us to upgrade to the latest and greatest, but frankly it’s sometimes too much to deal with. Not upgrading right away has saved me so much money and time and sanity.

In reply to Buckeyecub. I’m with you. And next time for us, it’ll be a top freezer and not stainless!

In reply to Mrs. Farmhouse Finance. A-Men!!! But I wouldn’t hold it against you for procuring a nice burr grinder for the beans. ?

In reply to Kuipers. Fair enough on the Fit! We compromise by having an Outback for family trips. I use the Fit for bops around town when not biking. Thank goodness no gators here in MN! Yet...

In reply to BusyMom. Hey, sounds like my house. Keep it sweet and simple. We also have a VCR and a blue ray. It's alot easier for kids to destroy blue-ray disks as opposed to VCR tapes, Land Before Time for the 147 time I'm looking at you. Plus, like a kid that doesn't understand what "rewind" means needs a little exposure. Oh and on Honda hatchbacks, like what other car functions as a pick up truck? I once fit a whole couch in my little Honda. Priceless vehicle.
