As I posted in my previous reply to this, those people are really doing Life as a pro. If the only things you buy in life or at least most of the things you buy do have a good resale value or you can even sell them for more than you paid for them then you are certainly a pro at that part of life.

Well that's very uncommon. There are on the other hand people who are specialized in certain areas like antiques, cars, old candle holders, oil paintings, houses... and they know which ones are interesting to buy and which ones arent.

This LPT post however is about none of the above

I think you might have missed my point. I was being a little jokeful but in reality not. My point is anyone who buys something intentionally not worrying about the resale value or happy to have it be worth nothing when they're done with it isn't really being a pro at life. This is called life pro tips so a better life pro tip regarding buying things would be to buy low and sell high or at least try to. Wait till things are depreciated until you buy them so you won't lose as much as the previous owners. Only buy things that will hold their value and maybe increase in value or be worth more to the right person and know how to find those people and market to them. This is a life pro tip. The other one is more like a life amateur tip.

Absolutely.

Not sure they would hold as LPTs anyhow though cause they are not specific. It's a bit like saying "get a job with an employer that cares about their staff".

>This is called life pro tips

Yeah well almost no one really cares about that fact though. People here these days are just posting because they like to see their own words in print. That's the sad truth. Very few things are tips that people can actually apply, to get some life improvement.

No doubt. I've seen a few that were decent good advice that a lot of people may not know.
