There are less than 13% people in this world who can afford to buy brand new stuff for their use
. The rest 87% always go for second hand stuff. From this ratio you can judge the importance of saving money. Obviously there are thousands of ways to save money other than buying second hand items from a second hand store. Fro example you can also save money on your food items, you can rent an apartment with a less rent and you can save electricity. But the mentioned reason will not save you a lot of money and the amount of money you want to save.
This thing is only possible by buying second hand items like second hand furniture for your home. You just have to pay approximately half the amount of the brand new item for a second hand item. For example if the brand new price of an item is $500 then you can get the same item in a very good condition from any second hand store for less than $300. The same case is in second hand machine and second hand vans, and you can also save thousands of dollars on their purchase as their price is usually high.
If the brand new price of an item is just few dollars then it is recommended that instead of buying a second hand of it, why not just go for a brand new with which you will also be given a warranty of few months or years. But if the brand new cost of an item is thousands of dollars and you can't really afford that price then you shouldn't think again but immediately go for second hand of that item.
Purchasing second hand vans can be very risky because there is a huge chance that the engine of that van might be fake. For this, you can't go by just yourself and purchase a van. You must take someone professional with you so he/she can tell you whether the parts used in the van are genuine or fake. If you have any kind of confusion then immediately leave that second hand van and move to the next one.
Second hand items can save you a lot of money. This might sound a bit confusing to you at this time but if you give it a try you will feel like that your monthly income has just doubled. Second hand items can really affect your overall house budget.
