Default Re: 10 friends live secondhand for a year

I am not surprised because I have seen anger and ignorance that we buy used.

The funniest to me is when people throw it back in my face that I buy used things for my kids, what a hypocrite I must be to make my kids wear used clothes and have used toys while I buy new.

Um, who said I buy new?????? LOL.

& believe me if I didn't tell, no one would have a clue from the outside what we buy new or used. & I generally don't tell because people do freak out.

The funniest thing to me is most of the people I know are VERY ANTI-used car. They think it is disgusting for one, not to mention all the repairs. (??). So I bought a 2005 Minivan this year, with 30k miles, and one of these friends popped in the van and asked, "IS this a new model???" LOL. How you can have so much disdain for a "dirty old car" if you can't even tell the difference???????

Anyway, I digress, I think these guys are super cool...

I learned a long time ago to ignore the disdain and enjoy the deals. While everyone is turning up their noses and can't figure out how to get by I am snatching up used things and doing quite well, so whatever. Their loss!
