my children also think i am silly for doing so many things the “old school” way, but at least one son has realized, i save money, the environment, and gain much needed exercise. plus, when doing it myself i receive the bonus of a little self pride.

Many of the clubs recycle the phones for a fundraiser. Helps the community and cleans out your drawers.

I’m with you on most of these items….. like you, all of mine have broken and we aren’t replacing it as it breaks.

Another (non-financial) issue I have with all of this junk is what to do with it when it breaks? I have a whole drawer full of non-working cell phones. The landfill doesn’t need them!

About 20 years ago, my calculator was goofing up, and I totally messed up the checkbook before I realized what was going on. I use one once in a while to double check long columns of figures, but the calculator between my ears works just fine, thank you, (never needs batteries).

And they enable us to continue with things when the power goes out sometimes. We get stupid sometimes about electronics that we don’t need.
