DISQUS

I would say save on socks, the more expensive ones that I have don't last any longer than the cheap ones.

It's not just me! I have been doing this for years, and my husband thinks I am crazy.

Hah, I've never looked at it from a price-per-wear perspective before. I buy my clothes on sale and hold onto them for so long, I imagine my wife would say I'm down to fractions of a cent per wear :)

You call also apply, "the cost factor" to vehicles. I own a 21 year old car and a 16 year old car.

The 16 year old car I bought for $4400 10 years ago. I have probably put approx. $5000 into it ... say total cost is $10,000 . This translates to approx. $140 / month for maintenance and initial cost assuming it is worth nothing. The car is reliable ... where can you get a car for $140 / month ?? People think I am crazy ... old cars are no reliable and breakdown ... something auto manufacturers have brainwashed us with.
