Which Life Pro Tip disappointed you? (lemmy.world)

For me it was "buy high quality pillow" because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was ... ok. Like it's a fine pillow but my sleeping haven't improved really, it's basically the same. So I was disapointed :(

So, which life pro tip disappointed you?

You've been sold a bill of goods, or whoever tried to tell you this doesn't understand leasing.
ex-lease cars are just as good as new, come with a new car warranty, and don't come with the absurd depreciation.
look at cars that where released 3 years ago, that's the used cars we're talking about not a 1990s civic or whatever.

Poor people buy new cars, rich people lease them, smart people buy ex-lease cars.

And even poorer people just buy $1000 beaters and deal with it because we literally can't afford anything better.

I am a member of the 10mm socket + Hammer club too, but if I had money I know how not to blow it

This is great advice for anyone looking to buy used and not new. Don’t buy someone else’s problems from Craigslist. If you can, buy something from a reputable source that includes a warranty.

Yep. NRMA inspections for the win. There has got to be a similar service in the US.
