Me too. But the fact is, that's how most people live. Looking at the big picture: What else is economy based on outside of growth?
So, given the demand for growth there are a lot of people who earn a living to maintain this standard. Even a landlord/super/parent (for the basement dwellers) use trades to get things fixed. That's my point.
And Kudos for the old Honda. Did the same thing with my Nissan and saw it on the road a couple years ago. Probably still running
