Okay I don't know how this one goes, is it.....

Use it up, wear it out,
make it do, or do without.

Or is it.......

Fix it up, wear it out,
make it do, or do without.

I know it can be either, but I can't remeber which one I had growing up when I was little, any help anyone. I am a fan of this, easier said then done for me, so times I just want to buy a new, or better, one, but I keep telling my self this and I am getting better.

  1. The first one was what I taught and follow...

    When you want to buy new, remember DEPRECIATION! Something used and known (with all the known quirks) or something "gently used" has a value/price more in line with reality, in my opinion.

  2. I thought it was the first one. I also try to live by it, it way better to use something until it is no longer useable. That way I have money to get the things I don't have. I am getting better at the make it do, we will see. Someday in my home I hope to have all of these phrases somewhere in my home. Only the ones I really love. This one is one of them for sure.
