I was talking to my wife about how I am so un-materialistic, and that so many people will just throw away an article of clothing if it just gets some spot or small worn edge, or in the case of what brought this up, a broken zipper pull on a perfectly good coat that I use a paper clip as the zipper pull :) I have clothes over 30 years old, and if I don't get new clothes as a gift, I don't buy any new clothes (I'll buy clothes from a Goodwill store and the like) The ironic thing is, if everyone was content with what they have, our whole economy would collapse.
