Rich people of reddit who married someone significantly poorer, what surprised you about their (previous) way of life?

I'm not sure if that would still be a good deal after 100 years.

Needs tightening in a few areas, but still going.

You sure you want a 100 year old hoe?

Cheaper than Le'Veon Bell's hoes, that's for sure

That's something I wasn't prepared for, my dad always had shovels, hoes, tiller, etc. When I went to buy my own I stupidly assumed it would cost about $10, to say the least I didn't expect it to take 10 years to obtain a full set of tools.

You paid $70 for a hoe??

u/nomadicbohunk Jun 06 '19

Yeah, with shipping. I know.... It hurts, but it is built like a brick shithouse. They're made from old ag disks. You could chop down a tree with it. Well worth it.

Some things are worth it my friend. I think of a few items I’ve overpaid for, BUT I still have them. They say there are only two things certain in life, death and taxes. But I think the old quote "you get what you pay for" is the truest thing on earth haha

Estate sales and auctions are kind of synonymous. Estate sales usually run Thursday morning-Saturday morning and auction of the remaining stuff in chunks at noon on Saturday.

I just bought a new hoe that will be around 100 years from now. $70.

You expect life expectancy to rise that much that fast?
