inWarning: I paid $1,200 for a 'vintage' guitar at an estate sale and it sat unplayable in my closet for 14 months
Yep, my closet's basically a museum of bad choices.

inI paid $75 for a "mood boosting" app subscription after one bad shift and it made my day worse
That 6am "smile more" notification is brutal, the app basically woke you up just to mock you. I once dropped 40 bucks on one of those meditation apps during a terrible week and fell asleep mid session every time, so I paid to nap. At least we both learned that throwing money at a bad mood just makes you poorer and grumpier.

inA line cook at a diner in Amarillo told me to salt my pasta water like the sea, and dinner got easier somehow
My grandma from Sicily did the same thing back in the 80s, she'd taste the water and say if it doesn't make you thirsty it ain't ready. I've noticed that pattern in a lot of cooking, where the old folks just trusted their senses instead of measuring stuff. Same deal with how they season beans or know when bread dough feels right, no recipe card needed. We got so hooked on exact amounts from boxes and videos that we forgot how to just taste and adjust.
