That conversation with my neighbor about his 30 year old lawn mower

He told me he never financed a single tool for his landscaping gig, just bought everything cash after saving up, and he's never paid a dime in interest on his equipment. Made me realize I've been racking up credit card debt on stuff I could've just waited a month to buy outright. Anyone else have a neighbor or older person drop a simple money habit that stuck with you?

bro wait hold up. did he ever break down what he actually paid for that mower when he bought it used? cause i feel like sometimes people forget they could've gotten the same thing half price if they just waited for a yard sale or facebook marketplace deal. i'm curious if he's one of those dudes who paid msrp for everything or if he's got a secret for finding steals. like my pops told me to never buy a new car, but your neighbor's lawn mower story hits different cause it's small shit that adds up over time.

Oh yeah, he said he snagged it for like 40 bucks off some guy on Nextdoor.
