  I believe it’s a combination of what others here are saying. We live in a world of near instant gratification, getting going on something that requires effort without an immediate payout feels too much like work.

  FWIW, I find it helps tremendously to schedule a day / time in advance. For example, I spend the whole week looking forward to “Wrenching Wednesday” so I can go play with my cars. And I actually go do it now, which is something I couldn’t always say before.

  That actually happened this year to the Punxsutawney Phil from… Tennessee I believe? Not the main one, but another groundhog event on the same day.

  Looks like it was Kentucky. Link is pay-walled, but here it is if anyone is curious: www.courier-journal.com/story/…/72477815007/

  I’ve found the trick is you have to say “Here’s $22 dollars” out loud to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does car insurance on multiple vehicles work (USA)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny, I’ve asked this exact question multiple times, and the answer I always get is that you just get fucked. You pay full price for every vehicle but with like a 10% discount for the extra vehicles.

  Maybe it’s Georgia? I carry the minimum for the state (Liability + Collision), but then bump the Liability because I now live in a high cost of living area. So if I’m in a wreck, I get nothing, but the other guy gets a nice check for his car and his medical bills are covered.

  My car insurance would be WAY cheaper for me to just drive one of my shitboxes 100% of the time than it is to split my mileage across four vehicles. But I make it up by being pretty handy. When one of the breaks, I have multiple other cars to drive while I wait for parts in the mail. So I’d still say I come out slightly ahead as far as costs go, but most of my ‘savings’ go straight to the insurance company.
