MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Getting something engages an additional set of responsibilities known as maintenance.
Be it a car, a house or a spouse, maintenance is an ongoing condition of keeping it, whatsoever it may be!
So, don't just look at the purchase price, look also at the equally considerable costs of maintenance.
If not, the car will protest and breakdown; the house will fall down or be foreclosed; and that lovely spouse will be long gone!
Getting something is one thing, but maintaining it well is quite another!
