That is “fix what’s broke”. For instance I have one of those Dyson cordless vacuums which run what $600-$700? Darn thing died and for the $35.00 battery I got on Amazon and a little time I’m back in business. Also don’t live on credit as has been mentioned by many. When Linda and I married 16 years ago she had around $35,000.00 in credit debt with several institutions. She maintained that level making minimum payments for the first 7 years of our wedded bliss until one day she asked “how is it that I make more than you (at the time 40% more), you pay all the bills (utilities/rent/insurance/auto) and I never have money and you do?” “Do you have a money tree you’re hiding?” I said “if you’d like my help with your finances I’d be happy to pay your personal bills.” She agreed and within 14 months she was debt free. I started by paying off the smallest amount first while making the minimum on all the others. The next month I took what I’d paid on that bill and added it to the next smallest payment until that was paid and so on and so on until it was all gone. Badabing badabang…….voila!</blockquote>
