Re: Millennial Monopoly. . . not sure if this belongs in IF?
I'll chime in and agree on how well made appliances and other modern "necessities". Our brand new dishwasher started falling apart after 3 years. We spent the $150 to fix it. Less than 3 months later it started tripping the breaker. Yeah, that we aren't able to fix ourselves and it would have cost $150 for a tech to come out to assess the issue and $150 plus parts and labor to come actually fix it. We washed our dishes by hand for 3 months and bought a new one. Praying this one lasts longer than 4 years.
HB, we had similar issues with my cell phone. I just got a new one and it's so much better. Dh is limping along with his old one still. I don't think he uses it as much as I do.
It's frustrating and expensive and I don't really see any way to stop the cycle.
