I find it pretty telling that my kid and his friend where at home playing on the almost 20 year old ps3, with the ps5 right next to it.

To be fair they do fire up the 5 for that soccer game, but I have soo many games in the cabinet for the 3 that it is a goldmine for them

Do the numbers! Check that the range is at least double of that you need. Check if the purchase price makes economic sense. Put priority on wants and needs. Think of resale value, because you never know if some life changing event can happen.

I avoided that bullet in 2017 when my e39 blew the headgasket. It was either a modern EV or hybrid or a cheap second hand gas guzzler. At less than 5000km a year the numbers told me what I needed to know, and looking back, my Mondeo ST220 has been much cheaper overall, fun and dead reliable.

Some easy examples you can relate to:

• do you work overtime, even for a minute, and don’t get paid for it? Wage theft!
• does your company make fun of people using their allowed days off, making you not use them? Wage theft!
• does your company make you buy tools required for your job, because the ones available are shit or non existant? Wage theft!
• does your boss call you during your days off, holidays or vacations? Wage theft!
• are you assigned tasks that are more suited to a higher compensation level, but don’t see a dime? Wage theft!
• are your coffee and lunch breaks interrupted early or entirely canceled and not compensated? Again, wage theft!
