My son is inclined to throw money around like he has not responsibilities in life. Perhaps that is because for the most part that is true. He has income, but very few expenses that are mandatory. He is in the perfect part of his life.
He regularly says that one should not skimp in several areas of one’s life. Specifically:
- food — always buy quality
- tools — you will have them for years if you buy the good ones and weeks if you don’t
- tape — duct tape isn’t generic, there is good duct tape and well stuff that pretends to be duct tape
- adhesives — one of my favorite products of all time is Loctite 401 (specifications). It isn’t cheap, but it is good. Miracle glue appears cheaper at a buck or two a tube, but you use a new tube basically every time you need to glue something because it dried out. Loctite 401 stored in a fridge has a several year shelf life. It doesn’t run like the other quick glues. It has body so that it will bind and works on many porous materials … try that with your miracle glue! Get some and be happy.
