You'll end up replacing it sooner or paying more in maintenance costs than if you had spent more on good quality in the beginning. Plus, you'll enjoy the nicer product throughout its lifetime, rather than cringing every time you use something that is falling apart.Check out the rest, folks.
23) When you move, sell, throw away, and give away as much as possible or you'll just end up moving boxes from one closet, where they have been sitting for five years, to another closet, where they'll be sitting for the next five years.

p.s Here is some inspiration for your efforts in class.

Lakes - Condi /=/ ChemGuy, though I do love the song "Condi, Condi" by Steve Earle
Mirage - every girl name ever from Dr Cox?...that's amazing...many of the pieces of advice are obvious, but they're the kinds of things that are sometimes easy to forget...
