    Yeah. The bit I find particularly weird is how you’re “supposed” to replace your bed every 8 years. I’ve never heard this and it makes little sense. Replace your bed when it needs replacing. They don’t have expiry dates on them, do they? If the mattress gets dirty there are ways to clean them. Use good sheets and that should keep the mattress clean to begin with.

    I think a lot of people don’t understand what being poor is really like.
