Pay for everything with your credit card. You should pay as soon as possible to avoid interest. Many cards allow cash or RRSP rebates. I earn $500 in RRSPs every year because I pay with my credit card. – Ludovic

6- Repair instead of purchase

I’ll try to fix the broken one before I buy another one. I’ve had success 9 times out of 10 by watching tutorials on YouTube. I recently repaired the soles of my leather shoes myself. The material only cost me $20. – Mario
