Something Is Very Wrong With the Things We Buy Now… And It’s Emptying Your Wallet
Something Is Very Wrong With the Things We Buy Now and it’s draining our wallets. People are noticing that so many modern appliances, cars, furniture, electronics, and even homes aren’t built to last anymore. As prices keep rising and quality seems to fall, many people are trapped in an endless cycle of replacing things that used to last for decades. But what most people don’t realize is that this shift may be changing the way we spend, save, and build wealth in America.

I think they are planning to make those things a subscription, too. So you can always have a working device for just a million a month.

Kitchen Aid Mixers use to be good back when they were made by Hobart. Now they have plastic gears in them so that it will fail, even the Pro model uses a plastic housing for the metal gears. My wife’s Kitchen Aid crapped out so I bought her the Ankarsrum mixer made in Sweden because its spouse to be extremely durable…….. fingers crossed 🤞

You guys should buy „Elektra Bregenz“ (Austrian brand) washmachine – they last forever and cost around 300,- – and they are unbreakable..
or Miele, they literally last forever, but are very expensive.
Can’t you get european stuff?

Those lasting were made in the USA> Been in the current house for 8 yrs. bought all new appliances, last month my built in microwave-oven burned out last month, just found my fridge is leaking water on the hardwood floor. The stove is counter top, One knob is froze up so Ii have to turn gas off and on, plug in so that I can cook. We are talking around $7,000 to replace these appliances' and I live on Social Security.

Roper dryer!!! For all you youngins out there that was one of the best models you could buy in the 70's! Never heard of that before?! That's why it lasted 15 years and typically Ropers would generally last about 25 years. Must have been a fairly new model. I just bought a new stove, a new fridge. Fridge is garbage and it's Fridgidaire Gallery. The stove is basic Fridgiaire that should last but I have had the stove for three months and never turned it on other than the delivery guys testing it. I hate cooking. Voles got into our house this past winter due to extreme cold weather in the mountains and they peed down the back of a stove that was basically brand new because I barely used it. Just couldn't have that in my house due to little voles getting into every opening.

Most people are paying thousands of dollars for “Leather” seats in new cars but only two or three manufacturers actually make genuine leather these days.

That's not an USA issue that's a global issue, I MEAN can you imagine the prices today if it was made in the neighbourhood? I'd say only the 1% could afford.

When I visited my great great aunt in London Ohio 2006, she still had her functioning "wet side" refrigerator from 1950s!!! She didn't need to wrap stuff to keep it fresh. They just put leftovers on plates and stuck them in the fridge! The balance was amazing, even a slice of pie, the stayed fresh, no imbalance of soggy crust nor dried out filling.
