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?

A 2007 Opel Agila that might've been a decent car four owners ago. But seriously, her price limit was 2500 € and she got the car for a bit over 2000; it's hardly a surprise that she didn't exactly get premium quality.

Well, once all repairs are factored in the total cost is closer to 4500, which could've bought her a much nicer car. Or at least a much healthier one.

Opel was at least as big of a mistake, imho

I’ve seen quite serviceable Toyotas and Hondas in that price range not too long before Covid. When did this all happen? I know post Covid used car prices have been absolutely insane much of the time

She just got the car back last week so very recently.
