A storm came the following weekend, and it rained inside our house.

Well-paid employees are more loyal, and long-term employees are more skilled."

“A friend briefly lived with a guy who burned candles at night to cut the electric bill.
“I know a guy who built a house in the country.
To save $2K, he got a small septic tank instead of the large one.

“My father-in-law drives all over creation to save $0.04 on bananas or $0.49 on noodles.

“Last week, I decided to grill and invite the family.
My dear wife decided to help.
Distracted by the guests, she sliced her hand open.
We excused ourselves and told our family to make themselves at home.
We spent six hours at the ER.
My greed and hubris cost me.
Shouldve paid for the damn sliced cheese.”

“My dad is a mechanic.
When his car has an issue, he runs it until it causes more problems.
Every time his car needs brakes, he doesn’t change them until the calipers are frozen.
He also gets upset at the cost of the maintenance he delayed…
So he trades the car in.
Of course, he never has much of a down payment.
So, he pays high interest as well.
He also, frequently borrows from his 401(k).”

“My ex’s dad wanted a truck bed cover.
He wasn’t internet savvy, so he asked me to look into it.
He said no, that’s too much.
Tried to cut it and reshape it so it would fit, but he couldn’t make it work.
Scrapped that project and built another out of wood and some bang out of heavy-duty canvas.

“My brother was house shopping in 2021.
Six months later, he got a new job and could now afford a house.
But because of the car payment, they could only afford a house a few towns away.

Ended up having a major, major accident on the job.
Lost practically everything he had, and the company folded in two months.”
