How long do you keep & use things
I was thinking about this today.
I always keep vehicles a long time:
-‘11 with 320,000km
-‘13 with 160,000km
But I realized it isn’t just vehicles:
I still use the same toiletries case I got when I joined the army at 17 (I’m 50 now)
We still use the same pots and pans we got for our wedding, 23 years ago.
I still use the same day pack for hiking that I had in Uni and used all over the world.
I use the same ski helmet I’ve had for 19 years (I’m breaking down and buying a new one this year, probably for the best).
Skates, they are 20 years old.
Do you keep using items as long as they are functional or do you feel the need to change out for newer or fancier versions of the same usable item?
