Today's Insight

Everything we own eventually requires care, repair, or replacement.

Key Lesson

Consider lifetime cost of ownership, not just initial acquisition.

Question for Reflection

What takes more energy to maintain than it provides in value?

Practical Advice

Factor maintenance time and cost into ownership decisions. Learn basic repair skills to extend item lifespans. Choose items with readily available parts and service. Sometimes the cheapest option is not owning the item at all.
