Speaking of pants, when a friend had holes in several pairs of jeans, he took them to a tailor and had them mended at $5 each rather than throwing them away and buying new ones. He also had a belt repaired and even had sheets made into curtains all at the same tailor.

Before I built the computer I am currently using I had a Pentium II workstation which I could have upgraded to a Pentium III.

So many times we get rid of something old and get something new when we can fix or update them ourselves or have someone else fix them.
