Stop appliance genocide

Fixing the old stuff is usually as expensive as buying new, unless you do it yourself. And even then, some stuff isn't really worth fixing.

For the most part, I agree with you though. The boiler in my house is 70 years old and will last another 70 years, easily. It's not energy efficient at all, and I feel badly about that, but I hear all the time about people having problems with their 10 year old HVAC units. Circuit boards getting fried or whatever.
