Do you believe in repairing what you own? Team repair or Team just buy and replace la?

Repairs e.g. repairing appliances through repair kopitiam or paying for repairing of bags/wallets, mending clothes etc.

Just felt somehow the generations before are careful in buying new things - they often go for second hand everything (e.g. my parents got second hand fridge and washing machine when they got married and said everyone did the same, however nowadays most ppl buys new... wonder if it's because back in the olden days, things last longer than now.

It depends on the cost of repair VS cost of replacement. I will always go for the cheaper (and sensible) choice.

Repair if possible; also depends on the price delta between repair and new purchase....
